General Stuff

Before I forget, I was remiss in not noting in yesterday's entry that CardinalsGM was having a radio show last night.  If you missed it (as I unfortunately had to), you can listen to it whenever you want on this link.  This was a show under the CGM label, as it were.  The next of the UCB shows will be 12/3 at 10:00 CST, with Chet from 4thebirds hosting.

Interesting to see Pujols getting involved in bringing soccer to St. Louis.  I think getting a franchise here would only help in the Cards locking him for years beyond this current contract.  Because Pujols needs to be like Musial in another one--only one team in his career.

Wonder just how much the Padres want to move Peavy?  Because with the Cubs resigning Dempster and the Braves backing off, suddenly the Padres don't have many partners to deal with.  If they lower their price, shouldn't Mo get back involved?  If the Cards could get even part of the contract paid and give up players besides Rasmus, wouldn't they have to do it?

Looks like Jose Oquendo will be back at third for the Cardinals next year.  Which means that he still may be in line for the Cardinal job in 2010 if LaRussa actually steps down at the end of this contract.

The front office appears to be targeting Will Ohman and Arthur Rhodes.  Rhodes worries me, because just glancing at the stats seems to enforce what I was thinking, that he's a pretty streaky player.  Add that to the fact that he's getting into his late 30s and I'd not be all that excited.  That said, he'd probably be a better lefty specialist than Ron Villone.  Ohman is at least on the younger side and looks to have a good hits/IP ratio.

Remember that Friday is UCB voting day!  Be sure to check back for that (in case I don't post tomorrow).
