Bernie has an artical that brings up just how shitty jon jay has been.  Maybe that is the offensive upgrade the team needs.  I didnt see much of the game last night but i did see him show off his womenly arm on a throw to first.

I realize it's almost pointless to bring this up, but Ryan Jackson is still hitting .307 in Memphis.

the roster is so fucked.  Wiggington is a roadblock.  Say they want to bring jackson up and throw him in the lineup once or twice a week, they likely dont want to demote kozma.  At the same time having kozma, jackson, wiggington and descalso all on the roster is impossible.  speaking of descalso, maybe he should be more involved.  his ops is 150 points higher then kozma and his production (descalso 3/23 vs kozma 1/27) is baskcly the same.  Descalso has almost half as many pa as kozma.  
 

"Artie started the "jon jay is god" thing but i dont think that was serious."

I like Jay. A lot. But there's a huge difference between Jon Jay hitting .300 and Jon Jay hitting .250.

i look at it like this.  Jon jay and pete kozma are not the long term solution to cf or ss.  By long term i am talking as soon as next year.  Both positions need upgrades and the team can afford to do it.  Also wong carp or freese are going to be traded.  When is the best time to pull the trigger?

Bernie wrote the other day that the Cardinals are simply not at all impressed by Jackson's bat or his glove. It's an odd, odd thing, but they are willing to let Kozma rot out there every day and eat Wiggy's salary rather than give him a chance. As far as I know nobody has articulated what's wrong with Jackson.

As for Rasmus, he's a .240 hitter who is probably going to hit over 20 home runs. I haven't watched enough Blue Jays games to know what his defense is like, but there's value in his bat. I said last year that the Cardinals made the right decision after all, but if Jon Jay is going to play atrocious both ways...

I can't imagine this not working out ...
 

Dodgers get Nolasco for 3 minor league pitchers.

None in the Dodgers Top 10 apparently.

The Cardinals were never mentioned as suitors. I haven't read of them being linked to anyone, so I don't think they see a need for another starter.

Could the cards have match this offer easy?  Sometimes i think a team with less to offer can make these trades better then a team like the cards.  There is less to ask for.
 

So berkman just went on the dl.  I assume the rangers would be very interested in adams.  Does anyone thing we could make him the center piece of a trade for one of there young ss.  it is an idea but idk how andrus is going to turn out and i am not sure the rangers woukd part with profar.

Texas acquired Matt Garza for 4 minor leaguers, including Mike Olt and CJ Edwards.
