Ryan Theriot
It’s one thing to look at the 2011 Cardinals and think about tweaking one thing here or making an adjustment there. Rebuilding is an altogether different approach, but few people really want to think about the “R” word right now. What about looking at the team by deconstructing it first? It’s like taking apart your […]

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. […]

….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 […]
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 […]

C’mon! You didn’t think I was going to go into some long-winded analogy about cholesterol, heart-healthy diets, and cardiology, did you? Did you? I’m not that predictable, or at least I hope I’m not that predictable. No, I’m talking about the heart of the order. In this case, I’m specifically talking about Rasmus-Pujols-Holliday. Consider what […]

Yes, I’m pretty sure the Cardinals have gone to plaid, but I’ll explain that later. Focus on poker first, because I have a serious poker/baseball question to ask. Are the Cardinals going “all in” for 2011? For those of you who aren’t familiar with the phrase “all in”, it’s a poker term that refers to a […]

I’m sorry. I know you’re ready to move on, and so am I. But first, I wanted to address Dennis’ post from Friday – The Fall Guy. I started to gather my thoughts for a well-written response as a comment to that post, but it quickly became clear it was going to be too long-winded […]

Don’t let the title run you off just yet, I promise I’m going to make sense of it. I’m going to piggy-back a bit on what Dennis wrote this morning, because either we were reading the same things yesterday or great minds just think alike. Now, I know I’ve been a bit scarce in this […]
Conspiracy theories aren’t my thing. I’ve been to the famous grassy knoll at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, and I’m confident that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone shooter. It’s not that I did some complicated and expensive re-creation using a computer simulation or watched a really detailed re-enactment of the event. It’s just that I’ve […]
I usually visit the #stlcards tweets a few times a week to see what exactly the rest of the Cardinal nation tweeps have on their minds, and I frequently find someone amusing to follow in the process. If you are interested, please feel free to check out the list of people I follow. Occasionally, a topic […]
