What was the real point of the Rasmus trade?
It’s been two years since the St. Louis Cardinals suddenly dealt former uber-prospect Colby Rasmus to the Toronto Blue Jays mid-season for a host of pieces in return. And in the two years since that deal, the value of what’s come of the trade is still very much undetermined. There are some that say the deal was what sealed the 2011 World Series win, while others feel it was a...
There’s Going to be a Colby Rasmus Change
Colby Rasmus is amazing. Still just 26, and an elite-level talent, Rasmus is presently slugging .536. He’s a center fielder who clubs like a DH, and his slugging percentage is beating those of Albert Pujols and Anthony Rizzo. Rasmus owns a 135 wRC+, which was Joe Morgan‘s career wRC+. It’s a better wRC+ than those being posted by Carlos Beltran, Andrew McCutchen, and Michael...
MLB photo day fun: Colby Rasmus resembles ‘After’ pic in a ‘Faces of Meth’ ad (photo)
MLB team photo days are an annual — and often hilarious — rite of spring. Most of the photos taken of MLB players are of the garden-variety class, nothing too crazy, nothing too off-kilter. But for every 100 normal photos, there usually is at least one flat-out hilarious photograph. And as far as the photo of Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus, the curdled cream most...
Colby Rasmus: Former Cardinals centerfielder tries his hand at curling
Former St. Louis Cardinals centerfield Colby Rasmus was one of the most scrutinized players in recent memory during his days in St. Louis. Â Fans did not understand the kid's laid back attitude and balked at his perceived laziness in centerfield.
Now that he is a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, Rasmus is evidently doing his best to ingrain himself in Canadian culture. The...
Is Rasmus Worth An Extension?
The Blue Jays acquisition of Colby Rasmus last season was considered a steal by many. Though the team surrendered five players in companion deals with the White Sox and Cardinals, Alex Anthopolous brought in a young, cost-controlled centerfielder for three relievers, a starter that was never really meant for them in the first place, and Mark Teahen‘s contract. Rasmus was worth...
And Colby Rasmus Wins the Award for Worst Hair of the 2012 MLB Season
It’s nice to know that Colby Rasmus isn’t letting his latest slump bring down his inner fashionista. The former Cardinals outfielder, who has one hit in his last 40 at bats and who has struck out in nine of his last 10 times at the plate – and 18 times in his last eight games — has apparently decided to celebrate the occasion by going Bo Derek and finding himself a salon...
Toronto Blue Jays: 3 Up and 3 Down
Having put together a respectable 85-77 record in 2010, many expected the Blue Jays to take another step forward in 2011. Â The team was loaded with young talent, a stocked farm system and had all of its key pieces returning. Â Instead, the Jays hit the .500 mark two weeks into April and basically lingered there the rest of the year, ending the 2011 season with a record of exactly...
Staying on the Colby Rasmus Bandwagon
The St. Louis Cardinals are in many ways the perfect organization. The team has great fans, great baseball writers and a very long tradition. The Cardinals have had great success over the years and it's extremely hard to find fault with a team that just won another World Series title for one of the best cities in America. But in many ways, it's all that tradition and richness...
The Cardinal Nation Blog 2011 top story #8: The Rasmus trade or the title trade?
Colby Rasmus headed into his third season with the St. Louis Cardinals holding down a full-time job in centerfield but also still carrying the expectations that came with being a former first-round draft pick and a three-time organizational Minor League Player of the Year. He also had supposedly put past skirmishes with manager Tony La Russa behind him.
As 2011 unfolded, Rasmusâ...
