To be fair, Ortiz is kind of an idiot. He came from Houston and is constantly tweeting about Houston related sports and other topics. Plus, he gave an embarrassingly out of touch and rambling interview on the morning radio show I listen to. Not that he deserves the racist remarks from the power Hoosiers down here, but he's done a terrific job of stirring the pot.

In a case where I hope like hell Dave Cameron is right......He was asked what he thought the Cards penalty would be and said a loss of 3-5 1st round picks, a ban on signing IFA's for an extended period of time and a massive fine.

That seems like a touch much.

If the Cardinals are losing first round picks I really hope that any time they sign a FA that requires forfeiting a first round pick that they already forfeited it does not just move to the 2nd round but tacks on another loss of a pick in the first year they would have had a 1st round pick.

 

For example, if they lose their 1st round pick for the next 5 years and sign 3 eligible FA in those 5 years it becomes 8 years of not picking in the first round.

That seems like a touch much way too little for what the Cards deserve.

Well part of their punishment by MLB is going to be to set a precedent to deter this from happening in the future so I expect it to be harsher than usual. This punishment isn't just for what the cardinals solely did

I propose randomly picked Cards participate in drunk drag racing once a week for a year. But only if thats something they're not already doing.

If we weren't defending WS champs I'd be pretty pissed right now. I felt the punishment should include an actual first rounder, even if that means the punishment doesn't come until later years.

I'd be pretty upset if I was the rest of baseball at this point. How much harm was actually done to the Astros by the hacking? I feel like getting the draft picks is a significant advantage for them in comparison to the damage actually done. The punishment to the Cardinals seems about right and I have a feeling it would have included their first rounder this year as well if they hadn't already forfeited it.
