Tim: Who do you think the Cards will draft?
Jeff Gordon: Shooter Hunt is running third in the Future Redbirds fan poll, but the big righthander looks like a big league pitcher. And he has a great name. Pitching, pitching, pitching!
Tim: Whats up with Jason Taylor trading in the cleats for tap shoes and refusing to go to workouts?
Jeff Gordon: Taylor sees show business in his future. He is also tired of losing. And is leery of having Parcells as his ultimate boss. Bailing on the Dolphins is the easy way out for him.
Tim: Whatever happned to Romberg? I hear he was this superstar in Miami but now hes only been a starter for one season and he hasnt done much in the nfl. Where did things go wrong
Jeff Gordon: Initially, size was an issue. He got stronger for the Rams, but then injuries slowed him down. He is a pretty solid NFL center, but not quite a building block. Hence the competition.
B in Denver: The Roc's are not going to sign Holliday when his current contract is up. The team has stated this in round-a-bout ways. They do not want to pay him what he can get from the open market. Are the brass in the Cards front office considering at least talking about his availiability? I think Holliday would look awfully good bating behind Albert. I would deal Rasmus and ANY other prospects to get him. Tis better to have a bird in hand than 2, 3, or 4 in the bush.
Jeff Gordon: Given the team's oversupply of young outfielders, I don't see them adding a potential $100 million player there. If the Cards have a Mather-Ankiel-Rasmus outfield some day, with Schumaker as the fourth guy, that might work very well. If the Cards are going to make a move, the team ought to get an impact middle infielder instead.
COGzilla: With the signing of Greco and Scnueling(?), has a wake up call been sent to Incognito???? Use your tremendous skills and stay healthy or we have two young guys to step in next year when your contract expires?
Can you tell me when we either are out from under Chavous' contract, or when we can dump him cheaply?Thanks.
Jeff Gordon: Incognito is a force of nature at guard. He needs to calm down and stay healthy, but he is more likely to be a solution this year than a problem.
