You'll just get fired for philosophical differences.

***WANT***
Scherzer

***Realistic Hope***
Stroman or Ray in that order



I voted Stroman due to the nagging realism inside

Exact same for me.

I’d also kinda like them to resign Lester (and/or another of the old guys who appeared durable) if an inexpensive one year deal is doable because depth is good and he appeared to work well here. With Jack, Mikeolas and Hudson coming off a lot of injuries, Waino over 40 and Reyes’ durability as a starter a risk, I’d like a couple of guys you could bring up who could give you 4-5 innings with 2-3 runs allowed. A couple of inexpensive guys who aren’t great, maybe aren’t good, but with a great defense behind them can give you back-end-of-the-rotation results would be great. But I guess every team probably wants that?

I’m sure they’ll overpay Stroman and he’ll become a lemon like Mikolas.

Bringing back CMart as a reliever is intriguing.

scherzer, stroman and, i just cant quit you Eduardo rodriguez
This is my answer in that same order.

I don't think a high value, short term deal is as unrealistic as people are making it out to be. If Scherzer's interested they can figure it out.

I think Scherzer is more realistic than Ray

I'm curious why most people seem to prefer Stroman over Gausman.

For me it's mostly based on the fact that I think Stroman's stuff plays really well with the Cardinal defense and I've had the opportunity to see him pitch in person; he's got a lot of tools. Gausman had a breakout year but I feel like he's going to get figured out by hitters.
