Cardinals Trade Discussion Thread

[jej]

Can Rosenthal start? Or is he BP from here?

Yeah miller looks like a beast so that's what I'm not sure about. He will probably have to move to 3rd or 2nd, but his bat will still play well at either of those spots. Plus he is a lefty.

[Skippy15]

He could start or be in the pen, my guess, 4th/5th starter. Pen- dominant closer or set up man. His career would go better with him in the pen

This Dempster situation is crazy. Reports that he still wants to go to the Dodgers so now the Cubs are back talking with them.

[Skippy15]

Dempster is being a little ridiculous IMO.

But the Angels are expressing interest in Zep. Not sure I wanna trade him

[cards7]

Yeah, hopefully teams and other media folk are not thinking we are going to be sellers. Though I'm not getting a sense of urgency by the front office either regarding making moves. Maybe they want to be stealthy and land someone huge. I don't know but if we screw the pooch this series something better happen roster wise.

yeah i def wanna hold onto scrabble

[Skippy15]

I think we will, probably just the Angels kicking tires.

[STLforLIFE]

What about Rzep and another prospect for bourjous? Mo said we r looking for a RH centerfielder

[Skippy15]

Idk, he doesn't impress me much. I feel like zep is more valuable them a RH bench player

[stlfan544]

I think it'd be a straight up trade. If we trade Scrabble then it'd be for bourjous I'm sure. I don't think we will do it. I think Zep's got a future with our team extending past this year and the next coming years.

[cards7]

Maybe we should just DFA Tyler Greene and recall Shane Robinson until the deadline.

I only think you guys should go after Bourjous if all it costs is Zep. He brings you a lot of speed and could share time with Jay. You already have a lot of pop on the bench, so a speedy guy makes sense.

Plus, Zep has been bad this year.

[Tkais9009]

Yeah I'd do zep for bourjous straight up. Wouldn't add anything to it tho. I don't really see anything positive about chambers or Robinson. Nothing more than AAAA players

[jej]

What is the view on Jay? He has hit well this year, albeit in limited time (injury?)

I've heard people say he isn't good enough to be a starter, but as a mariner fan, he looks like a fine starter with the team you have. We don't quite have the luxury of having top players at every single spot like other teams do.

I would do that straight trade in a freaking heart beat.

Ending up with Bourjous for Rasmus basically would be fantastic, and we need that right handed compliment to Jay, and he would be our 4th outfielder who starts 100 games every year.

He would be great for us.

But I would assume they would want more than Scrabble for him.

Scrabble has a value to us, with his team control, being a lefty that could start in a pinch. But not a lot of value, considering how poorly he has pitched thus far.
