While some of these wouldn’t necessarily qualify as a “move” in most minds, here are – in my opinion – the most influential moves/non-moves/transactions made by the Cardinals’ brass during the 2008 calendar year. (In no particular order.)
Trade Scott Rolen for Troy Glaus.
I still wonder to this day if John Mozeliak fell out of his [...]

…and we continue.
It’s no secret that I’m against (and on the record as such) attempting to make Kyle McClellan a starting pitcher.
If the Cardinals want to do anything with McClellan other than the middle relief role he seems so well-suited for, why not this suggestion from my post McClellan to the rotation? Why??
If you [...]

Today brought us some great posts across the Cardinal blogosphere, not so indirectly focused toward an article that appeared yesterday in the St Louis Post-Dispatch.
I don’t have a lot to add to what Pip and C70 have already said regarding the venom being spewed toward Cardinal management, nor about the media’s involvement in provoking and/or [...]

Now that Tony LaRussa’s self-proclaimed primary focus in the free agent market has signed on for several millions with the Los Angeles of Anaheim, Orange County, California, USA Angels – where do the Cardinals turn next?
The Cardinals have, at least in the opinion of this humble scribe, several holes yet to fill as they emerge [...]

So I’ve been banging these ideas, ‘theories’ if you will, around in my head since the Khalil Greene trade was announced late last week. I decided that some of them were just too ingenious to keep to myself.
Everyone knows and acknowledges that one of the Cardinals’ priorities heading into this season was finding middle infield [...]

So I’ve been biding my time, waiting, watching, allowing the news to come to me. As I’m sure my loyal readers know (all three of you), it’s been eerily quiet.
Let’s catch up with the goings on…
First, I wanted to take another opportunity to publicize the debut and continuing development of United Cardinal Bloggers’ Radio, [...]
