Tim: WHy dont the Blues go after Sundin? I know hes old but he still produces
Jeff Gordon: He would prefer to play for a winner, should he play in North America again. And he has been offered HUGE dollars by some of the bidders. Again, there is no fit there for the Note.
Tim: When will the Cards bring up Motte?
Jeff Gordon: Motte's last outing in Memphis was terrific, but he is a thrower still trying to add polish. As we've seen with Perez -- a more complete reliever -- velocity doesn't guarantee success at this level. But Motte IS an intriguing prospect we should see, perhaps as soon as this season.
Tim: Do you think Grecco will be better suited at guard or is the plan still at tackle? What about Schuening what are the plans for him?
Jeff Gordon: Greco could play guard, since he has the acumen and the body type to move inside. But tackles are harder to find, so look for him to concentrate on that -- especially with Barron needing some prodding. Schuening will have every chance to make this team as a back-up guard.
Tim: What rookie Blues do you think for sure will make the team?
Jeff Gordon: I don't see how either Oshie or Berglund miss. One has the speed to play at this level, the other has the size. Both are more mature than Perron was last year as a teenager. Depth is pretty limited up front and the Blues are selling these kids as difference makers. They would really have to stink in training camp to miss.
Tim: What do you think our 2009 rotation will look like? im kinda hpoing its Carpinter Wainwright Lohse Wellemeyer Garcia (Baring we make a sign in the offseason)
Jeff Gordon: It would be nice to see Lohse return, but he could break the bank in free agency. If that happens, then Carpenter, Wainwright, McClellan and Pineiro would be good bets, with Wellemeyer fighting Mortensen and perhaps Garcia for spots. Don't rule out Mulder's return, too. He still has a lot of time in '08 to show he has something left.
