The United Cardinals Bloggers (UCB) have teamed up again for a roundtable session. My question for the group was simple but yielded some good responses: Who should be the Cardinals number one target this off-season and why? I'm a little late in posting this one, but it's been a busy week for ...

The Cardinals lost a remarkable person late last
night. A man who lived "the Cardinal way on
and off the field," George will be remembered as one of the great figures in the long and storied history of baseball in St. Louis. My thoughts and prayers, ...
There's some funny but thought-provoking stuff over at Fire Joe Morgan regarding why Albert Pujols deserves to be named MVP over Ryan Howard . My favorite part: But Howard was in another reality in September, when impact players make their mark. But "Hole in the Wall" and one very funny moment ...

Braden Looper is a pending free agent this off-season and, according to Tigers blogger Eddie Bajek , will be a Type B free agent after the Elias rankings are finalized. This is good news, as a Type B designation means that we'll receive a supplemental draft pick at the end of the first round - ...

Economist JC Bradbury on the Kyle Lohse deal: Well, it turns out that Boras was right. If Lohse had signed the deal three-year $20 million deal, he would have missed out on this deal. I have Lohse valued at $47 million over the next four seasons, and I’m sure Boras was well aware of his client’s ...

It's official - Kyle Lohse has been signed
to a four-year deal worth $41m with full no-trade
protection. It's less than I thought we'd be paying but still is a risk given Kyle's resume. The no-trade protection scares me because it takes away the ...
The hoopla for whether or not Kyle Lohse would be Type A free agent this off-season is moot now, as the Cardinals appear to be close to signing the soon-to-be 30 year-old. The deal is reportedly going to be in the 4-year, $48m range, similar to Carlos Silva 's last year. If that's any indication ...

I guess I'm a bad blogger. I'm going to have to take another day off today to focus on my third test in two days. It's nothing I'm worried about, but I want to make sure I get it down. As we enter these final four days of Cardinals baseball, I'm excited for the off-season to come but sad to see ...

There's not a whole lot to comment about today. I spent two and a half hours at a Student Government meeting and a total of four and a half doing Student Government stuff last night, which means I missed the game as well as anything else that happened to be on TV. I didn't miss much. There's a ...

Dennys Reyes, who's 31-years-old, makes sense for the
Cardinals for several reasons: first, he isn't due to
make particularly much this off-season, but the Twins might still not have the resources to keep him; second, his ground ball/fly ball ratio (2.62 is outstanding); and third, the Cardinals des
Last night was a big boost to Kyle Lohse 's case for Type A free agency, giving him 14 wins and lowering his ERA to 3.76. He not only is fighting to make that coveted Type A classification, he's also trying to prove his worth to a potential buyer this off-season. Last year, Kyle was squeezed out ...

The Cardinals definitely need to sign another lefthanded
reliever this off-season. Ron Villone, signed this past year,
was a good thought but is nothing more than a LOOGY at this point, sporting an ERA of 4.88 and a FIP of 4.61. Against lefties, he's ...
You don't fire your manager when you're in first place, no matter how bad you've been playing. Yost took the Brewers from 94 losses and last place in the NL Central in 2003 to 83 losses and second place last year. While I've never been a fan of Ned, nor the entire Brewers community for that ...
