2009 Cardinals Player Grades: First Base (Josh)

by Josh October 23, 2009

Today’s post took much longer than I planned for two reasons. The first is related to the Cardinals but the second, is well, not even close. For those that know me, my love for movies is nearly on par with that of a certain St. Louis sports team. We are going to keep this rolling […]

UCB Fall Roundtable: Buying out arbitration and free agency years

by Nick October 23, 2009

Once again the United Cardinal Bloggers are undertaking our fall Roundtable discussions via e-mail. Josh will be moderating a discussion on a question of his own in a few days, so keep an eye out for that. My question to the group has already made the rounds, and there were some interesting (and some predictable) […]

2009 Cardinals Player Grades: Catcher (Nick)

by Nick October 22, 2009

As Josh mentioned yesterday, we are embarking upon a month-long (or so) series of report cards for the 2009 Cardinals, and he kicked it off with his grades at the catcher position yesterday.

by Nick October 21, 2009

Josh and I were scheduled for a half-hour UCB Radio show tonight. So naturally, with some help from Daniel over at C70 at the Bat, we managed to turn it into an hour plus.

One Year Ago on PH8: A Pujols Extension

by Nick October 21, 2009

Fancy that, one year ago Cardinal fans (or at least, yours truly) were concerning themselves about a contract extension for Albert Pujols. We raised the question about when to approach Pujols and with how much during the 2008 UCB Off-season Roundtable. Many of the responses were similar to “give him whatever he wants.” Now that […]

2009 Cardinals Player Grades: Catcher (Josh)

by Josh October 21, 2009

How fitting is it that nearly all candidates to take home the top pitcher of the year award have the Molina boys to thank in some way. CC has Jose and last year’s winner, Tim Linecum, plays catch with Bengie. While it is easy to put Carp and Wainer on a pedestal, enough isn’t said […]
