Adam: What is mulder's future is he done? Do you see ankiel giving us a hometown discount? When do you see brett wallace coming to the majors, 2 years?
Jeff Gordon: Wallace could be hitting the in the bigs at the end of next year. He is that good. Mulder? He's probably done. Sad.
Matthew G.: Any chance the Cards start negotiating with Lohse during the season?
I think it's pretty clear that if he makes it to the end of the season with no contract, he is gone.
Shouldn't all negotiations with Boras start with, "Remember when we drafted your kid....well...."

Jeff Gordon: Lohse would take a fair deal today,I believe, regardless of what Boras said. He is taking all the risk by pitching for less than $5 million this year. I'd give him $40 million over the next four -- but I know DeWitt is reluctant to throw long-term money at hurlers, with some justification.
Todd F: Gordo,
What ever happened to Darius Miles?
Isn't it nice that Kareem and Brandon Rush get to play together for awhile?
Where do you think Brett the flip flopper Favre will end up?
Also, there needs to be more Dippin Dots locations at the stadium, could you make sure that happens? Thanks

Jeff Gordon: Can't help you with the Dots.
How about Favre in Miami? Just like Marino at the end, only he can move.
Miles is a sad case, a combo of injuries and attitude. He is the argument against letting players come to the NBA too soon without the right support system in place.

Eddie: Hey Jeff!
Are there any other "impact" bats that we haven't heard about? Bay, Holliday, and Bonds are the only ones we've heard about. Personally, I'm not a Bonds fan and never have been and I don't know that we have what it takes to get the other two and if it will really be an improvement.

Jeff Gordon: Teixeira tops the list, but he has no place. Same for Sexson, possibly heading to the Yankees. Nady is a guy the Braves really like. B. Roberts is coveted by the Cubs. There are plenty of possibilities.
Gerald Hildabrand: Hey, Gordo, I love your work. I fully believe that the best trade targets for the Cardinals would be Cleveland shortstop Jhonny Peralta and one of three lefty relievers. Brian Fuentes and Damaso Marte would certainly fill that need, but since I think they might cost too much in young talent I would go after the Giants' Jack Taschner.
Jeff Gordon: Marte is a realistic target. The Cards might be able to make that happen. Peralta is one of those are power-hitting SS, somebody we've talked about. Having power there or at second base would change the offense more than replacing one of the OFs with another OF.
That appears to be all for this week. Thanks for all the questions!
