I Heard a Cardinals Rumor from a St. Louis Contact

[CubinNY]

The point of my post was that there maybe something going on down at Busch today.

 

Does it have something to do with Jimmy Edmonds and a construction worker?

 

I'm here all week folks. Don't forget to tip your waitreses and bartenders.

I guess I should have introduced myself since this is my first post. I'm stuck down here in Cardinal country, unfortunately. Anyways, my friend is a scout working directly for the assistant GM. The point of my post was that there maybe something going on down at Busch today.

 

If you're going to be that specific for his job title, then give the name. Otherwise....

It's a guilty pleasure I know but I just love the Jimmy Edmonds jokes :lol:

Rumor is that Burnett signing is all but imminent. Don't know how I feel about him with a 5 year deal. Probably not true, but I am very VERY happy with the rumored deal Kansas City offered Jacque Jones.

Apparently there is some rumor that the Burnett signing is all but imminent. The signing level has been raised to Orange. I don't know how valid it is though. Also I am VERY excited about the reported 4 year contract the Royals offered Jacque Jones. I normally don't bring prayer into baseball, but if Jones doesn't go somewhere else let's just say my faith will be shaken.

I rip on Hendry for his FA actions, but he gets it done in the trade department. No worries.

 

He's laid low when the competition had similar needs before and it burned us though. Think back to when they traded for Scott Rolen...We could have had him for Bobby Hill and a couple of others. Had we gotten Rolen, St Louis would have been left with nothing, and I doubt they would have made a move on Aramis with the baggage he had while he was still in our AAAA club.

Sorry, but Burnett doesn't impress me. I think he's a risky sign at 4 or 5 years. He's basiclally Kerry Wood with slightly better control. They have the ability to be dominant but durability is an issue.

 

He probably will sign with the Cards.

Burnett on the Cards makes them a better team so I rather not see him go there. I rather see him come here :)

I'm happy with Aramis and his contract. Rolen and his contract is scary. His health is a major issue too, not that Ramirez is a picture of health. :wink:

 

Rolen actually hurt the Cards this year and they still dominated. The only guy they couldn't lose for a full season and dominate is Pujols.

ST Louis Post Dispatch write Bernie Miklasz says the rumor that Burnett will be signed today is false:

They're going to be a great team for the next 2-3 years regardless of signing Burnett. I hate to say it, but we're looking at the WC before the season even starts. Burnett and Rolen are going to be nice salary drains after that 3 year window, which will make me happy.
