Not great immediately, but I think he'll be pretty good.
-
Mellville must be asking for Porcello money. I don't understand why the Cards took Lynn with DeVall still out there, and not having signability issues.
-
Is there something wrong with Mellville that none of us knows about?

Flaherty

:banghead:
-
And Houston picks who?
-
STL better take Melville! Gillespie to San Fran
-
Montgomery to KC
-
Jake O to the Brewers.

Glaus currently has a .264 avg & .370 obp - his career #'s are a .254 avg and .359 obp. Duncan is currently in the minor leagues. What makes you think both of these guys are gonna improve? What are the odds Carp returns and immediately is at Cy Young status? Only in Dreamland is Wainwright and the magical return of Carpenter the best 1-2 punch in the NL. Wainwright's #'s are currently worse than Dempster, Zambrano, Webb, Haren, Volquez, Lincecum & Sheets. Well, I would think that Glaus and Duncan are going to improve because Glaus is slugging .090 points below his career average and Duncan is slugging .121 below average. I was saying that Wainwright/Carpenter would be the best playoff contenders 1-2, which is why I didn't count Volquez/Harang or Cain/Lincecum. If you really believe that Dempster is going to keep it up, go ahead and replace Carpenter with Wellemeyer.

Yankees pick Cole.

I'm typically negative towards the Cards drafting, but I don't see them spending 2.5 mil on a sandwich pick nor do I see them drafting a pitcher that high espec. at that price. It's a little different these days. Luhnow runs the draft and is a favorite of the owner. If any one of those three are still on the board, I really think that they'll be picked.

Bad pick Arizona, bad bad pick.
-
This draft is getting a bit odd the last few picks.
-
Yea Cardinal fans just seem to want to ignore this fact, and automatically assume Carp will come back as Cy Young Carp. When Mulder coming back? :-" At the current rate he'll only come back as a loogy sometime down the road. TJS is quite different than shoulder surgery though.
-
Yes, he's coming back from TJS. I'm optimistic because he's done the whole rehab thing before. In other Cardinals news, Clement made his first rehab start last night with good results and his fastball is sitting at 88. If Looper pitches as poorly as he has, I'm not too worried. Clement may be worried and we have Jaime Garcia in AAA, who is pretty damn good.

Weird lineup tonight if the game doesn't get rained out. Glaus is playing 1st, where he has 1 career inning played. Mather is in center where he has played about a handful of games in his career. Oh well, as crazy as it sounds, I feel pretty confident with Welly on the mound.

I'm hoping that the Cardinals make the playoffs this year. Things will look a little different in a playoff series if things go as planned. We have that Carpenter guy that's supposed to be back around the All Star break. A 1-2 punch of Carpenter and Wainwright is as good as anything in the NL except for Webb/Haren. I don't think the lineup is going to suffer much when Ludwick finally cools because Glaus and Duncan have to hit better, and limiting Schumaker's at bats is an addition by subtraction kind of thing. The bullpen is actually better now that Izzy is gone, because it made a spot for Chris Perez, who is filthy. Don't look for this team to go away any time soon.

Cardinals game delayed again. Still not official. :evil:

Todd Wellemeyer named NL Pitcher of Month (May)

Not stacked with future all stars or anything, other than probably Rasmus. Lots of good pitching prospects. To be fair, Mather was had an OPS over 1.000 this year when he was brought up. -

heh let's not ignore Pujols' elbow and the lost season they'll have once it finally blows. i'm just really not sold on their young talent whatsoever. they have a lot of work to do to be a formidable contender. I keep hearing about it, but it's been this way for 5 years and he's currently hitting .363 .486 .642 As for the young talent, who are you not sold on? -

I wouldn't be so sure, the farm system is looking pretty deep and there is going to be a lot of money coming off the books in the next 2 years. The Cardinals payroll is pretty much 60 million right now. What is particularly deep about your farm system? Pretty much everything but the middle infield.
