roger from lake tahoe: the rays say they are looking for a lefty reliever and a super utility man. could we offer spezio or miles, one of our leftys, reyes, and a prospect for one of their starters, kazmir, shields or garza? amy future in talking with them?
Jeff Gordon: Kazmir and Garza are extreme high-end young pitchers. EXTREME. I can't believe there is anything the Cards can offer to interest them. The Cards have one top prospect -- Rasmus, who isn't going anywhere -- and a lot of flotsam and jetsam. Reyes? Little trade value. Miles? Zero trade value. Spiezio? Zero trade value.
St. Louis: Hey Gordo.

Now that the Rolen trade has been made, we've found a shortstop, and we've found a starting pitcher, it seems like most things on Mo's checklist are accomplished.

But will any other moves still be made? Are the Cards still looking for a right-handed bat in the outfield? And if so, who are our options? I'd still like another RH bat out there, like a Shannon Stewart or Rondell White.

Thanks.
Jeff Gordon: I agree that another RH bat is needed, along with some speed.

Cameron had some top-of-the-lineup potential as well as some value as a stopgap CF -- but he ended up in Milwaukee on a one-year deal. If he bounces back (.270, 25 HR, 90 RBI, 20 SB)the Cards may wish they invested in him as a short-term solution.
Danny: Let's see... Rolen didn't like Larry Bowa, he didn't like Tony LaRussa,.. In Toronto, he won't like the fact that it's "cold here".

Million dollar cry baby.

Sincerely, Cardinals Fan from Ontario
Jeff Gordon: Scott will play hard in Toronto . . . but in time, odds are he will be become unhappy. Too bad, because this seemed like an ideal place for him.
David Cobler: Hey Gordo;
I think Mo has done the best he could do with this deal for Troy Glaus. I think we fans should be happy that the core folks of old brought us a World Series. It is time to move on to a new era. I still think we need another reliable BIG RH bat and starting pitcher to compete in the Central Division. I am very interested to hear what you think Gordo?

Thank you for your time Jeff!
Jeff Gordon: I agree, but I'm afraid the Cards brass may not share that opinion. Mozeliak seems to be looking for a left-handed middle reliever, but there doesn't seem to be much else on his front burner.

Couldn't he at least gamble a few bucks on a make-good deal for Jeff Weaver?
Gus: Thanks for answering my question Gordo.

I've read on SI.com that Detroit may trade Roy Williams around the 2008 NFL draft weekend. Any chance the Rams send a 2nd round pick to Detroit for him?
Jeff Gordon: Let's see what the Rams do at the offensive coordinator position. That will tell us a lot about where the team may look in free agency. Some how, some way, the Rams WILL have to freshed up the WR corps.
