i seriously can't wait until i never have to watch darwin barney on my favorite team again.

I literally can't believe this is the same castro that we saw last year.

The progress of him and Rizzo have really made the best of this otherwise frustrating and ugly year. I'm really looking forward to the next couple of years.

boy's pumped up

[Gilby]

The success of Arietta and Valbuena this year seems Cardinals-y.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

being archaic for a minute: Castro has almost matched his RBI total from last year

[SouthSideRyan]

Who the [expletive] is this guy pitching for us?

I'm one of the biggest Barney apologists out there and I'm ready for him to be off the roster.

It's starting to seem like the pixie dust comes from having a competent organization that knows how to develop players. I never would have thought...

[Careless]

damn, he hit that 400 feet

And Edwin Jackson..Can't wait until they dump both those losers..Why the [expletive] don't they just play Valbuena at 2B and Olt at 3B? Either let Olt play or just send him down..Barney is such a [expletive] block.

arrieta doin things

I will accept that adjective when we're winning playoff series on the backs of such players as opposed to moving from super-duper shitty to just shitty with them

[DiamondMind]

arrieta is disgusting

i hate darwin barney much much more than i hate jackson (which is not really at all - not to say that he doesn't need to do better).

 

oh, and mike olt might even be a worse option than barney, which i can't believe i'm saying.

If he's blocking Olt's [expletive] it is for his own good.

I hate watching Barney, but I can't [expletive] stand Jackson. We can easily win a game when Barney sucks - it's much harder to do it when Jackson does. I'm sure a big part of it is annoyance that he's the only big contract we've handed out in years.

I know Olt has been horse [expletive]...He has massive power if he can connect and drive it, which Barney can't,so I guess watching that is more fun..Though, he almost K's every time which blows. It's basically like Baez, Feast or famine. Either you get a HR or a K..Watching Jackson is the worst though, since he can lose the game on his own. He has been freakin terrible.

They control him for 3 more years, don't they?

Because Mike Olt is [expletive] terrible at baseball

I believe in Bosio.

I think 3 more including this year. Point was there was that article earlier this week saying we are listening to offers on all of our SP, now I know part of that is due diligence to gauge how the market values guys, but he was listed specifically. He probably has more value to us, even pitching at 70% of what he's been doing this year than he does to us in whatever he brings in a trade.
