Dan in Dublin: Would the Cards have any interest in Brian Fuentes? He seems like the perfect lefty to solidy the bullpen.
Jeff Gordon: He has the credentials to really help. That would be worth a prospect or two, for sure.
chattylicker: I like the article about steven jackson stepping it up and saying what the real fans are thinking, the fans are always sitting down only a couple of people are actually getting nuts at games. What do you think our chances of beating the seahawks are this year it kills me every year to see matt hasselbeck tear apart our secondary because of the lack of pressure!
Jeff Gordon: Adding Long and getting Hall and Little back, the Rams better have pressure. It would be sad if they didn't.
As for Jackson, let's see if he actually masters pass blocking this season. He needs to clean up his own game before popping off about others.
Eddie: Hey Jeff,
Any news on how Yadi felt after catching for the first time since the collision? Also, is there a timetable on our rehabbing pitchers, Mulder and Clement, before their year is called a bust?
Thanks for your time!
Jeff Gordon: Molina told the guys he is fine. Clement is real close to being a washout. He is in the Memphis bullpen, still looking for his fastball. And Mulder we'll see soon enough.
JC: Gordo
Thanks for taking my question. I was curious who (top 2 or 3 guys) in the Cards minor league organization has the best chance to make a significant impact next year that no one knows about? I think the next wave of guys could be Garcia and Todd but by now I think a lot of people know of them at this point. Also what is your take on Clayton Mortensen's future and potential? Thanks.
Jeff Gordon: Clayton was viewed as a front burner guy this spring and he is working back to that. Jon Jay (forgot to comment on him earlier) will move up eventually, but outfielder Shane Robinson is the new guy on the come. So many outfielders, starting with Rasmus -- who is really hitting now.
Springfieldcard: Hey gordo,
with the way our outfield is playing and Mather, Stavinoha, Barton, Rasmus, Jay, and Robinson all pushing towards AAA, who is on the way out? We can't keep them all and it looks like Ankiel, Skip, and Ludwick will be the starting guys next year as well. It looks like Jay and Robinson have caught Rasmus so do we now use rasmus to get this team som help?
thanks,
P Helms
Jeff Gordon: The trade mart will eventually sort that out. Which players will other teams want? Barton and Duncan are the lesser defensive players in the current group.
