    They should do both this trade-deadline. Buy & Sell. Have to sell Burnes just because of his being the number 1 player available and the bidding war that would ensue. They might even get a player that could help them in August/September like Ezekiel Duran from Texas, who i guess would likely be one of the bidders with deGrom having TJ. The rest they could hold, unless the LAD make a big offer for Adames, who will start to regress to the mean over the next 7 weeks. They have enough pitching with Miley, Woodruff, Peralta, Rea, Teheran, Houser and Gasser, who’s about ready for call up. Offense needs buttressed, and they have Urias they could trade for a less controlled better hitter and mid-level prospects they can also trade to improve the offense and possibly add a bullpen arm.

    Power bats & power arms please. 2 of each thru the first 4 rounds should do it.
  3. SF70
    Jon Daniels is long-gone from that organization and Chris Young isn’t going to not trade with Cleveland because of one bad trade. My guess is with deGrom having TJ, Texas will want a 1st/2nd game playoff starter and Bieber fits the bill. But so does Burnes.
  4. SF70
    Miller is batting practice. They need to DFA him and give the roster spot to Andrews and get a better arm on the shuttle and one with a along-term future as well.
  5. SF70
    Yes Bieber is close, but no cigar. Upside with Burnes is higher. Wheeler is 33 and past prime.
  6. SF70
    deGrom’s TJ, Menoha’s optioning to the Blue jays pitching lab, the tremendous amount of teams that will likely be in playoff contention/WS contention will make a trade of Burnes too good to pass up, imo. There will be no-one with as much value as him, no-one that will get teams to overpay like him. The team has already shown they are willing to move a great player having a down year if the return can potentially get player/players that can help now and the future. If Texas offered Duran, White & Porter for Burnes can we say no? If SD offered Merrill & Lesco plus plus? Toronto Tiedemann plus plus plus?

    Great news. This is one talented young man. Can’t teach 97-100.

    For a potential juggernaut from ‘26-‘31: This deadline— Trade Burnes & Williams to SD for: Merrill (SS) & Lesco (RHP) & Snelling (LHP) & Ethan Salas (C) Trade Adames to the LAD for: White (RHP) & Keith (OF) & Joendry Vargas (SS) Then this offseason trade Woodruff to Texas for: Brock Porter (RHP) & Anthony Gutierrez (OF) This return gives the team everything it needs farm system-wise to get to juggernaut the second-half of this decade with the big-league team. Preller is such a fool, he might actually do that overpay in an attempt to win the WS this year or next with Burnes and Williams.
  9. SF70
    I like Adames to the LAD since they have the biggest need for a SS. Not sure of the return tho. Dodgers might not want to give up 2 pitchers for a positional. Maybe substitute a positional for Sheehan. I like Burnes to SD. Preller to overpay for a starter in an attempt to save his job, sounds good to me. Merrill (SS) & Snelling (LHP) plus a couple of lottery’s seems like a nice overpay to me.
  10. SF70
    Walker’s abhorrent defense in RF really hurt their defensive numbers before he was optioned. DeJong over Edman at SS helps and when Carlson and O’Neil return from the IL they can get Burleson and his bad D out of the OF. The StL D at full strength is actually good.
  11. SF70
    Ok, maybe St Louis’s rotation isn’t better right now, but I don’t see much difference between rotations — not with Teheran and Rea in it. I like MKE’s bullpen a little better, so I’d give a slight edge in pitching overall to MKE. I also give MKE an edge defensively, but not as big if the team options Turang and or Wiemer. Urias at second is tolerable, but if he’s at 3B, the D takes a big hit. The gap offensively between teams is larger than the Grand Canyon. Whatever edge MKE had over StL in pitching & defense is more than wiped out by the Cardinals edge in offense. The potential saving grace is the 5+ game lead MKE has currently. Hopefully it will be enough of a cushion for them to hold on until they get their wounded back.
  12. SF70
    The StL offensive advantage is huge over MKE and honestly, with MKE’s starter injuries, I think the Cardinals have the advantage there too until Woodruff is back which is looking more like late July now. If this team can get to Woodruff’s return within a couple of games of 1st place, they probably have the advantage, provided they get healthy.
  13. SF70
    No clue who the team will pick, only that I’m confident Johnson & co. will have their 4th nice draft in a row.
  14. SF70
    Ok, you just showed his last 7 outings: 14 innings 7BB 19K Looks pretty good to me.
  15. SF70
    1st 5 outings— 5.1 IP 6BB/9K Since — 14 IP — 7BB/19K Positive trajectory/arrow up.
  16. SF70
    He COMPLETELY lost his release-point early last year and became Steve Blass. The team this year had him throw nothing but FB’s in at least 1 outing earlier this season and that seemed to work getting a more consistent RP and since then he’s had multiple clean outings and started to pitch much better. A few more strike-throwing outings and i’m expecting a call-up.
  17. SF70
    He’s gone from unplayable to viable. He probably needs to continue to make progress with his command for the team to call him up, but the trajectory is now a good one. And Small has plenty of whiff ability pitching out of the bullpen with his plus change-up and invisible fastball, especially at 93mph where he can get it, pitching out of the pen.
  18. SF70
    Nice post. Small has made enormous progress fixing his release point. From spiking every other change up 5 feet in front of home plate to being able to throw all of his pitches for strikes. Just A little more consistency throwing strikes away from a call up in my opinion. I think eventually they stretch him back out to start again and now that he seems to have fixed his release point he can start working on improving his slider to give him an effective third pitch. hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Teheran, but if not another nice start or two from Gasser and I think he gets the call, especially after hearing what Arnold had to say about him in the McCalvy piece.
  19. SF70
    Matt, I respect your baseball insights especially on pitching, but respectfully disagree with your opinion on junk making another spot start for this team. In the 3 starts I’ve seen from him including his Arizona start for MKE, his stuff just doesn’t pass the eye-test, at least not my eye-test. i’d like to see them call up Small on Tuesday to make the start. He threw 52 pitches last night with 3.1 innings and should be able to go 3+ with Wilson or a bullpen game the rest of the way.
  20. SF70
    The breakout of Nolan Gorman has given the Cardinals their 3rd MVP candidate and makes their lineup as strong as any in the game, if not the strongest. The team is so deep in quality position players they don’t even miss O’Neil or Carlson who both are injured and out of the lineup.
  21. SF70
    Hated hearing Miley say he tried to pitch thru-it after first experiencing the lat pain and CC saying he’s going to get multiple second opinions after getting the results from the MRI. Bad feeling on this one, hope I’m wrong.
  22. SF70
    I think it’s a pretty safe bet Quero and Misiorowski make the top 100. Black if he keeps the power profile should make it as well. Lara if he keeps hitting should make a list or two just because of his age, but might get overlooked. Guilarte just doesn’t have enough pop in the bat yet, but CRod could touch a list if he can improve his command some the next 5-6 weeks.
  23. SF70
    I think Zamora is the most important prospect in our system. If he can continue to develop his bat and keep his focus on his throwing I think we might have ourselves a SS that can keep Turang at 2B. The ‘23 early returns on both are encouraging, especially his throwing, sitting on 3 errors vs double-digit this time last year.
  24. SF70
    Yeah, I’m certainly having fun following our positional prospects in our system. The performances at the ages of 18, 19, 20 from Lara, Guilarte, Chourio and Quero are just incredibly exciting and gives more than just hope to multiple waves of positional prospects reaching MKE over the next 4-5 years.
  25. SF70
    Not sure I would agree that Burnes is rounding into form. His command is terrible, even if his stuff isn’t, and good hitting teams will and have taken advantage of his poor command. Agree with the rest of the article and am very much looking forward to getting Urias, Frelick and Woodruff healthy and back playing baseball again. Provided no more major injuries occur I like the second-half season potential of this team.
