The UCB, as a group recently sent a bunch of questions to Cardinal’s GM John Mozeliak, and he answered every single one. Here are the questions I ask: In hindsight, I wish I’d asked more questions some more thought provoking ones, but this was my first GM interview, so I thought I did ok. How [...]
Figured I’d get this done and overwith. There were some tough decisions here. 1) Player of The Year: Jhonny Peralta. He was an all-around success, performing Well on both offense and defense and exceeding expectations in both areas. 2) Pitcher of the Year: Adam Wainwright. 20-8, 2.38 ERA. Enough said. 3) Game Of The [...]
One of the things I was looking forward to next season was seeing what Stephen Piscotty could do in the big leagues. Well, unless he comes up and plays off the bench, that won’t happen as we just acquired Jason Heyward. Don’t get me wrong, I like Jason Heyward. I love his glove, and I [...]
I was sitting here in my living room thinking about the Cards bullpen, and the Royals ‘pen, and it got me thinking, we’ve got two hard throwers in the back of our ‘pen with Carlos Martinez and Trevor Rosenthal, what if we traded for Wade Davis and made our own bullpen Cerberus? Now I know [...]
The Cardinals have been rumored to be in on a bunch of free agent candidates, one of which is Nelson Cruz. To be blunt, this is a bad idea. Yes, he hit 40 home runs last year. We haven’t had that kind of thump in a little while. That much power is tantalizing. He’ll also [...]
For my turn on the round table, I asked the following: Let’s go with the bullpen question…Assemble your bullpen for next year. Also, to make it fun, assume Pat Neshek signs elsewhere, what external candidate do you replace him with? Andrew Miller? Other possibilities? Also, here are Trevor Rosenthal‘s month by month splits. While he ended [...]
Whe n I think of how to fill our outfield hole, I probably think about it in a different way than others. What I want out there is a wise veteran who can share his knowledge while playing enough in a part time role to make things easier for Randall Grichuk. I want this guy [...]
First off, congratulations to Yadier Molina for winning his 7th straight Gold Glove despite playing in only 110 games. I’ve already seen, on ESPN, a comment or two saying that while Yadi was excellent others, particularly Jonathan Lucroy were better. I watched the awards show last night, or at least part of it. Now keep [...]
Hello all, my name is Doug aka the Baseball Geek In Galveston, and as the title suggests, I view myself as kind of a utility player. By that I mean that I do multiple things. I like to post about the Cards, sure, but I also make posts about other baseball related stuff. Not too [...]
