Red Baron over at Viva el Birdos had an article considering the role Harrison Bader might play in this off-season's activity. I have to wonder if an Ozuna sort of move is a "get me over" while the Cards wait to see if Bader is more than a 4th outfielder. Maybe they would really be signing for 1/2 of a season of Ozuna to let Bader develop just a bit more in the minors or as a back up if Bader plateaus at 4th outfielder status.

I didn't read the article, but I hope the Cardinals aren't making decisions based on Harrison Bader

It's offseason fodder for a baseball blog. The idea was basically; the front office, in the past, has shown a willingness to not block young players with similar but more expensive performers. They talk about moving Kelly and Craig for Martinez and Taveras to get time. Then speculated that maybe they won't pay a high price for an Ozuna type player if they think Bader can be the same.

Not that they would make decisions around say Kiermaier or Pollock because of Bader. I'd say there's some prudence to that.

I actually like this idea but really only if it's part of some bigger series of moves. If Ozuna is the only move? May as well just sign Fowler.

Good. Ozuna isn't really all that great anyway

I'd rather sign Gomez or take a flyer on Austin Jackson than give up any sort of asset for Ozuna.
