Terry: Do you see the Cardinals trading Duncan while LaRussa is the manager? and do you see him as a viable trading chip to the Giants or other teams in need of a big bat?

They will have a lot of strikeouts in their lineup already, but will he bat four or fifth against righthanders or how do you see him in our lineup?

Jeff Gordon: Personal allegiances aside, why trade Duncan before we all see how much offense he can provide in a full, healthy season? I'm intrigued. I do see the need to move one of the LH-hitting outfiedlers, but don't forget that Boras could drive Ankiel's price through the moon if the kid hits this year.

Mike: What are your thoughts on Troy Glaus? Is he a whiner/complainer ala Scott Rolen or does he get along well with teammates, coaches, etc.?

Jeff Gordon: Haven't heard much negative stuff about him that way. Compared to Rolen, he has to be better for the clubhouse, right?

Kevin Weber: Has there been any word on those "nagging injuries" that bothered Pujols all year? Is it something that will be a constant problem next year or something that just needed time?

Jeff Gordon: As hard as Albert plays -- and as much as he hates to sit -- he'll always have some issues. The Cards just hope that his feet or elbow issues don't become so great that he misses a big chunk of a season.

At least they have a bit more insurance now with Glaus and Phelps.

Steve C.: After the Blues good start to the year, it seems they've leveled off a bit. Is this due to their youth on the team? Do you think they will make a trade to acquire another veteran if they are still in the playoff hunt come trading deadline?

Jeff Gordon: A healthy McDonald makes a huge difference with the offense. The PP has looked better. Legace is fine in goal. The PK has slipped a bit, but there no major room for concern.

The Blues have some interesting internal candidates to improve the mix, if need be. You never say never to a deal, especially if somebody wants to take back Rucinsky or Backman, but organizational depth could make a difference this year.

Brent: Hey Gordo

If this deal with Rolen gets done how much do you think we will have to send to the Jays? After that gets done do you think that will free up enough money to go after Loshe? I heard that he lowered his price range and if we can't go after him what do you think MO should do with the money that could be freed up?

Thanks
Brent

Jeff Gordon: The Lohse asking price has been unreasonably high. That hasn't been so much a question of not having the money as not wanting to waste money - thus limiting future moves.
