@Rudy Gamble: I don't think many people expect 25 HR or 85 RBI out of Greene, but maybe more like .260/15/60. The question is where he'll hit in the lineup. If he had a better OBP, there'd be a case for him hitting second. As it is, he'll probably be in the seventh spot. And, before you ask, yes, LaRussa is going to keep the pitcher hitting eighth in the coming year.

Don’t forget that the Cardinals picked up Khalil “K before H” Greene to play SS. I predict he surpasses Ozzie Smith’s career total of HRs this year as well as his career utterances of ‘dude’, ‘mellow’, and ‘gnarley’. I wonder if the LaRussa/St. Louis magic could bring him back to .260/25/85 numbers….

@Cardinal70: Yeah, but we loved Miles man, now he's a Cubbie. I remember when we got Eckstein from Anaheim, an Angel fan wrote a letter to the PD telling us how much we would appreciate him. They loved him there and he turned out to be a fan favorite here. Welcome to Razzball btw, we're one big happy family here. Could use some help with all these Cub/Sox/Yanks/Reds/etc, etc, etc. And all those frickin Canadians, damm foreigners........ @Grey: Greystache, maybe?

@BigFatHippo: But that's the Cardinal way now. Outfielders in the infield. Infielders in the outfield. Starters as relievers. Relievers as starters. Besides, Mather is quite a bit cheaper than Miles and hits better as well.
