I didn't realize Suzuki was traded by the A's to the Nats in 2012 then back again in 2013. Interesting. Too bad it wasn't for the same guy.

You mean like when we traded Sadecki for Cepeda, Cepeda for Torre, and Torre for Sadecki between 1966 and 1974?

There is no "answer" to solve the problem. There's no way to fix the issue. The Cards might be able to throw a little band-aid on the problem but the cut is still there and it's not going to heal for another 12 weeks.

Pick up one of these mediocre catchers (I'd be fine w/ Buck), see if he can help out here and there....and wait it out. There's no replacing Yadi.

Got to head to Puerto Rico and find a Molina. They're all catchers.

Perhaps Yadi will be calling all the pitches from the dugout. That could help- he knows all the batters so well. Just remember that the graveyards are all full of indispensable people.

It took plenty of De Gaulle to say that.

I have read that one reason France fell so easily to Germany in 1940 was due to the general's problems with incontinence. In other words, France was conquered because of De Gaulle's bladder.
