As much as it should happen, it won't. At least not this offseason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 We have to be looking to re-sign Juan Nicasio right? He pitched pretty damn good in the late innings for us down the stretch... Another name to keep an eye on is Kelvin Herrera of the Royals. Royals will be going full on sell mode this off-season and I know Cards have expressed interest in the past...

Any idea what kind of contract he'd command? I don't get the sense that he'll be crazy expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 I think we all need to stop and realize the offensive year Tommy Pham is going to end up having. He'll be 1 of 3 players in the last 10 years to have .300/.400/.500 triple slash with 20/20/20 HRs, steals and doubles... The other two are Trout and Altuve...

I think I read he's the only Cardinal since 1900 (I don't know if that means there was someone before 1900 or if that's just how far back the stats go) to go 20/20/20 and hit .300. Also read this on Twitter today (from @CardinalMetrics): Tommy Pham has a 6.0 WAR this year. That’s top 10 in MLB. Only player with higher WAR and less games played than him? Mike Trout.

tttmikeb Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Bob Nightengale just said on 101 ESPN that he thinks a package of Grichuk and a mid-level prospect would be enough to acquire Donaldson. That's less than I would have guessed. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also 6th in fWAR...and he's got 100 less PA than everyone ahead of him except Anthony Rendon who has 76 more PA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
