Im not positive that I personally would give Yadi another year (especially not another 2) but I could definitely see DeWitt wanting to. And if thats the case, we are wasting him, especially with a talent like Herrera moving his way through the system with some very impressive talent 11 hours ago, kgarrett12486 said: He was rumored to be a coveted piece in the Arrenado rumors... That's pretty intriguing. I don't love the idea of Molina full time, but Weiters is a solid backup. Maybe we take the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are willing to pay Weiters along with Molina for the next couple of seasons, with Herrera pushing his way in sometime during the 2022 season, Id be all for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holt_bruce81 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I don't really want to get rid of Knizner honestly. If we get rid of him, resigning Molina kind of feels like a must. And What if Molina continues to show decline in his game and by the end of the 2020 season he's playing no better than at a replacement level? I love how Herrera has progressed through the system and I'm liking everything I'm reading on the Kid, sounds like a kid that gets it and wants to be great. But hey he might not even stick behind the plate, his defense is improving but he's still below average there. And man I know I say this every year but I need to get to Springfield this year and catch a game, that team could be really fun to watch. Gorman-Herrera-Montero-Liberatore - Thompson...And there's a chance they're aggressive with Delvin Perez this year and put him in AA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get rid of him, resigning Molina kind of feels like a must. I don't think any of us want to get rid of Knizer, as he's essentially MLB ready now. However, I don't want another Carson Kelly situation, where he just stays stagnate in the minors and on the MLB roster... Barring a steep dropoff this year, Molina will continue to be behind the plate next year. This FO will ensure that, as their loyal with the lifers (somewhat to a fault)... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think those type of contracts are more Ownership imposing their will. And I kind of get it. It sells more tickets in this market than winning does (Carp excluded, that was all on Mo trying to hedge) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're 100% right though, that a DeWitt sign off... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it really rubbed the front office the wrong way when Ozuna didn’t rehab with the Cardinals medical staff last offseason and had no communication with anyone on how his rehab was going......And then Ozuna comes to camp out of shape and a shoulder that MIGHT have been 50% healthy.

holt_bruce81 Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Should probably ask this in the TAST forum but.....So this year is going to be my first season watching Cardinal baseball without having cable. Our Cable/internet bill was getting ridiculous and I was Already forking over a fortune in daycare charges. We have a fire stick that my buddy jailbroke for us along with Netflix, Prime and Disney+. The Jailbroken fire stick seems to be getting all the games I want but there are times that the games will not load up for some reason. I’ve noticed it’s mostly Blues games that are Nationally televised. But don’t want to have any trouble when the baseball season starts and god forbid I cant get a Blues playoff game...people will die. So I guess The question I’m asking....What’s everyone’s best alternative route for no cable? Was looking into getting Hulu live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing is right now they're in negotiations with FSMW owners and have threatened to drop them if talks don't get done... If they actually loose them, I'll move to Hulu but it's $5 more a month... And I here you on the daycare bro. I've got a 2 year old and 4 month old on full time daycare right now. It's a 2nd mortgage payment... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they only go 3 days a week! If her dad didn’t let us rent from him fairly cheaply, we’d be struggling right now. Problem is we are in a very crappy school district and the neighborhood isn’t the best. Trying to move closer to the St. Charles area. Kind of want to move out to Wentzville but idk, seems to be getting overpopulated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to move closer to the St. Charles area. Kind of want to move out to Wentzville but idk, seems to be getting overpopulated. Yah, I pay $1,718/month for 5 days a week... I live in North OFallon right on border of St. Paul. You should look out that way, it's growing.. Wentzville is a traffic nightmare. My parents live there and I went to middle and high school out there. It was just pretty much farm land at that time. It's becoming too crowded for the layout now...

I told my wife the other day that when our kids are old enough for kindergarten it's going to be like we both got a huge raise lol... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
