Brian Fuentes
So today is my turn in the esteemed United Cardinal Bloggers’ Roundtable discussions taking place this month of October. I’ve had a great time going back and forth with this red bleeding bunch, no matter agreeing or disagreeing. While most of the Cardinal fandom is focused on who the Redbirds can add this off-season, I […]

With the trade deadline fast approaching, and every post I write seemingly spouting off about “why can’t we trade this minor-leaguer for an All-Star?”, I thought it appropriate to get some information from a better source. Erik from Future Redbirds was gracious enough to take the time to answer some (admittedly) off-the-cuff questions about the […]

Now, before everyone attacks me about this being a rebuilding year and the Cards shouldn’t be giving up propects for rentals, don’t sell the farm, they’re in this position because Walt Jocketty mortgaged the future for now, etc., please listen. It doesn’t have to be a big move. I’m not talking about shipping out Colby […]

Before I get too far in, I will preface this post by saying these things: I am not a huge Chris Duncan fan. I think he is a minus on defense (in the outfield – he doesn’t get enough innings at 1B to make that a reason why he’s on the club). I can’t stand […]

Back from an extended holiday weekend (and having to watch/listen to that Cubs series with a group of friends who are all Cubs fans), I thought it best to leave the weekend be what it was and look ahead to the “second half” of the season with only two series remaining before the All-Star break. […]

By now everyone knows the story with Brian Barton. A Rule 5 draft pick, Barton must remain on the Cardinals’ 25-man Major League roster for the entire 2008 season, be returned to the Cleveland Indians (from whom he was plucked) for $25k, or the Cards have to work out a “trade” with the Indians to […]
