ramholio: Jeff, what did the Rams see in this Harris kid from Cincy? I have heard he is a good athlete at 300lbs but this league is filled with guys that are good athletes. If they were not good they would not be here. Out of all the dlineman that were deemed tradeable by their teams why this guy? Were the Bengals the only player for Leonard??

Thanks
Jeff Gordon: The Rams added a depth guy at a need position and moved out an unwanted player. Win win. It's not like teams were dying to pry Leonard from this team.
Rambunctious: Do you believe Spags will keep Ritchie Incognito on a short leash this year? It isn't easy to forget Cog's candybar episode when Haslett was HC. Ritchie is only signed for 1 year, and with several young guards breathing down his neck, would you agree that this is a make or break year for him? It would appear Ritchie isn't exactly a snug fit within the four pillars philosophy ..
Jeff Gordon: Hey, they'll all be a on short leash. But you're right.
MNCardsFan: Thanks for the thoughts on the PED question earlier. What is your thought on an outfield of Luddy, Raz, and Ank (great arm and skill for RF), for a long term outfield? I know that Dunc has hit well, which is why I think he offers the most value in a trade (particularly to an AL team). I just think that this gives the Cards the best defensive/offesive OF balance.
Jeff Gordon: Chris has been a phenomenal offensive player this year, but the idea of having Ludwick, Ankiel and Rasmus covering the outfield is quite appealing. That defense would be awesome.

Duncan is gaining real value, BTW. A lot of teams could use that bat.
G Turner: Carpenter looks like he may be back in about two weeks. Ankiel and Ryan also will back before at at that time. Do you see us sending an extra pitcher down to get back to a five man bench? I hope we keep Boggs over Thompson.
Jeff Gordon: The competition is on! With Carpenter returns, the Cards would prefer to go with 12 pitchers instead of 13. That would really ramp up the competition.
michael: Can the Cardinals rwally hang in there like they have done this year with the Brewers now playing better ball and the Cubs finaly starting to hit. Do you see the Cards hanging around in the centeral or will they falter?
Jeff Gordon: The NL Central looks impressive. The Reds will win more games when they hit. The Brewers are hitting again. So, yes, the Cards will have to play a lot better to hang.
