Anthony Reyes Traded
July 26, 2008 by
Get Up, Baby!
| Comments
It’s fitting: on a day in which Dan Haren leads the National League in ERA, the Cardinals have traded Anthony Reyes. The haul is a minor league righty reliever, old for his levels, who will have to get in line behind Mark Worrell, Jason Motte, and, if La Russa gets his way, Kelvin...

Every year in every fantasy league, some guy overpays for saves, and almost always winds up losing his league over it. Fantasy analysts say it, but especially in keeper leagues, it's hard to get away from it: don't pay for saves. And yet, since you have to have them in all...
Chris Perez + PTBNL for Mark DeRosa
June 27, 2009 by
Future Redbirds
| Comments
So much for the closer of the future. Mark DeRosa is a nifty player and all, and the Cardinals are in more need of offense than bullpen help, but my initial reaction this is a pretty steep price for just a rental. Franklin may eventually run out of magic pixie dust, Jason Motte, Kyle...

Joe Morgan would have put the Cardinals on his bad list in June, because they’ve been pretty inconsistent during the month. A pitching staff that is lit up against the Rockies early in the month settles down to some better pitched games, with hiccups along the way. An offense...
