Former Cardinals Watch

[Farewell Friends]

Another one gets away thanks to the ineptitude of President Moe.

Jeff Gordon writes an article about Colby Rasmus and a bunch of angry, middle-aged men who likely have problems pleasuring a woman step in to complain about his work ethic and not living up to his potential.

Man, reading the PD from my phone is painful. A survey, 3popup ads, a Flash player download to decline, and then Gordon's unedited column full of grammar and spelling errors.
So this is how it ends. Life on the cusp of nuclear winter. Bring it.

Yes, it's a very excruciating experience. It's remarkable that a major media outlet would present such a buggy product.

So Heyward still can't hit, 6 years left on his deal. This is going to get ugly, right?

Past 900 plate appearances now in which Jason Heyward has hit like a fourth outfielder

As long as he can preserve his contact and athleticism, he'll keep himself from becoming a zero, so this won't end up, like, Pujols or Cabrera-level bad. But yeah, this has never looked worse, so far

It's still early?

Jim Thome, Scott Rolen, Andruw Jones, Omar Vizquel ... which one(s) are Hall of Famers in your opinion?

Interesting that he says Jones isn't a Hall of Famer considering he put up almost exactly the same WAR as Rolen and Thome in the same number of years as Rolen. And not to mention he has like 25 more career WAR than someone like Brock.

Rolen was a significantly better hitter than Andruw Jones. A big portion of Jones' WAR comes from defense (moreso than Rolen), but you'll never convince me that Jones was more valuable than Rolen defensively. Defensive WAR gets tricky.

Brock broke the single-season stolen bases record along with the all-time stolen base record, which made him "famous". That gives him a leg up on getting into the Hall of "Fame", in my opinion.

Thome is a tough one. Incredible hitter, but the DH factor is still pretty sketchy for me.
