The Sixth Man

by Dennis January 26, 2011

At several points during the 2010 season, the Cardinals either had a 6th starting pitcher on the roster, or they had an injured starting pitcher out for the year (or both).  It’s safe to say that they are a bit too familiar with the concept of replacing a starting pitcher or two during the season, […]

by Nick January 25, 2011

On the morning of January 19th, I started collecting links – as many as I can find with minimal effort – that discuss the Albert Pujols contract discussions. Why? Who knows, yet here they are. Oh, and to serve you all, our three loyal readers! The Daily Pujols certainly won’t be a comprehensive list, but between […]

Don’t Shoot The Messenger

by Dennis January 25, 2011

Blame the guy who hired the messenger.  I’m nearly the last person on Earth who would normally consider defending sports agents, because I don’t exactly consider them to be the last bastion of altruism.  Agents represent clients.  More precisely, agents attempt to represent their clients’ interests.  They do a lot of other things such as […]

Whitey, Frank, Luis, and Walter

by Nick January 24, 2011

On occasion, we’re happy to get e-mails from guys like Chris Jaffe that we consider friends of the site (since they’ve at least obviously set browser upon URL, at least in most cases) – and Chris is one who just happens to send along great links to his work at The Hardball Times. This time, […]

The Baseball Road Not Taken

by Dennis January 24, 2011

After taking a step back and seriously contemplating what the Tampa Bay Rays have done during the off-season, I was reminded that there are many, many ways to build a baseball team.  The options that a front office has to choose from are often limited by factors such as financial, competitive, or internally driven realities.  […]

Cardinals Abandon Plan to Clone David Freese

by Dennis January 21, 2011

….and sign Nick Punto. Honestly, is there such a thing as too much of a mediocre-to-decent thing?  Nick Punto?  In 2010, Punto had 288 plate appearances and was good for .238/.313/.302/.615 for the Twins.  Sure, he can play 3B, SS, and 2B, but can he pitch?  After all, Aaron Miles is still available, and he can […]

Hindsight is 4/41

by Dennis January 21, 2011

Does that “4/41” part sound familiar at all?  Wait for it….. Yep, that’s it.  That’s Kyle Lohse’s contract – 4 yrs / $41M.  It’s easy to second guess it, but was it really a bad idea at the time?  After all, nobody could know that he would go on to pitch in only 41 games […]
