Not even close. There are maybe 3 teams with that kind of fliff like that, and that's not enough to push a bidding war up to 40 million. As far as I can tell, no one bid on A-Rod, he's older than Albert is, and he got 30 million.
Miles HAS gotten a whole lot worse. 2009 OPS: Miles .500 Blanco .620 Add in Andres's HUGE upgrade defensively and this is a no-brainer. I know, sample size, but neither Miles nor Blanco is going to get a lot of ABs on a good team anyway, so small samples is all one should have with those two.
The Cards are sending Kyle Lohse, who seems to actually be remembering that his name is Kyle Lohse, against Jon Niese. We might have a chance of going up a game if Harden continues to pitch like Harden.
I love how Santana sucks if he's playing the Cardinals or Astros, who beat him a few weeks ago I'll let 2 of the runs go since he had a 2-run double, but if he gives up any more him and me are going to have some issues.
