We can see how this Cards and the following Cubs series goes, but if we don’t go above .500, the next six games, I almost feel this is the year to trade Peralta and see if we can still make the playoffs as a WC. Trading Peralta won’t mean we can’t grab a WC spot. Trade Civale and Quintana as well as Peralta and go with;
Miz, Henderson, Patrick, Ashby, Hall, CRod ans your rotation choices and see what happens in July/August/September. Plus whatever MLB ready arm we might get via the aforementioned trades.
It seems we should be above .500 anyway and maybe can grab a WC slot while setting us up incredibly well next year and beyond. But if we go 5-1 or even 4-2 the next six games, I have a right to re evaluate my position here.
