Mike Trout now leads the AL in home runs with 10.
He has 13 RBI’s. Drink that in for a second. That is an insane stat.

That didn't count for 7 runs?

Yep, great baseball strategist. Loved his 80's Cardinal teams, emphasizing speed and defense.
Fun brand of baseball to watch.

Ryan Madson will help the team.

It's not always Black & White! Unlike your shirts and hats...The song remains the same, we tell no lies.. And per Victor and myself sometimes it's differing shades of Grey...

We don't actually know if that is a "strength" yet, though. Have Detmers, Neto, and Schanuel (as well as Silseth and Mederos) gotten to the majors quickly? Absolutely. Do we know yet how strong any of them will be overall? Not really. Detmers is close to truly establishing himself, but I think the jury is still out on the others. Of course, that's natural, since they're all recent draftees. But I think it'll be another 2-3 years before we know for sure if the strategy is a good one.

I’m not. If they want to save some money for a HS pitcher later, as you suggested, then do it with the 2nd round and comp picks.
IMO, there’s a clear cut off in talent after 8-10. So lock in one of those top talents, then you can start playing around with your bonus pool.

SlappyUtilityMIF reacted to Duren, Duren in Whitey Herzog passes
A real savvy baseball mind. Led some Cardinal teams further than many expected. Also one of the first baseball cards I found in a Topps pack when I was a kid. I recall he had a crewcut and a big wad of chewing tobacco bulging from his cheek. I actually have his autograph on a piece of paper, also signed by Roger Maris, who was a close lifelong friend. I think they both played for the old Kansas City A's early in their careers. The Maris auto is part of a display I have along with the entire 1961 Yankees team. My favorite team as a small kid, but who I despised since Steinbrenner.

I remember that. He wanted to get Bobby Bonilla and Danny Tartabull, but they signed elsewhere so he ended up signing Brooks and trading for Hayes.

Probably the second biggest mistake this franchise has made was to let Herzog get away. The number one mistake was trying to replace Nolan Ryan with two 8-7 pitchers.

Kind of like my Schanope....

SlappyUtilityMIF got a reaction from T.G. in Whitey Herzog passes
There were others as well. Whitey got Sixto Lezcano from Milwaukee in the winter of 1980 then dealt Lezcano, Templeton and a ptbnl to San Diego for Smith, Steve Mura and a ptbnl in the Winter of 1981.
The Milwaukee trade was big as they got Rollie Fingers, Ted Simmons and Pete Vuckovich who beat us in the playoffs in 1982...

Adell with a 112 mph off the bat. And then erases himself with a bad jump.

The amount of complete games Blylevan pitched is staggering. The amount he lost was just as staggering.

Like the trade involving Garry Templeton and Ozzie Smith!
