The return of Tortycraig

[dmarx114]

That's the hard decision but probably the best decision for the team on the field right now. It was going to happen eventually -- it's extremely difficult to keep a Rule 5 guy on your roster when you're trying to contend. I'll give Mo some credit. I didn't think he would cut bait with Komatsu even though it was becoming obvious that he's not much of a player (yet).

You have to wonder if the Nats might have something going on right now in their system to where they would have to think twice or make some other roster move in order to take him back. He's probably gone, though.

Sugar Shane probably won't stick all season, but it's tough to send a guy down when he's OPS'ing close to 1.000. He might prove to be a useful PH guy.

Completely agree. I thought they would hold on to the rule 5 guy as long as possible. Robinson deserved to stay here over Komatsu. I'm glad the Cards made this decision.

now when puma is ready, get greene the hell off the roster.

and i know he's out of options...that's the point. some other team will prob claim him, and then we never have to hear of that first round bust again....kozma, you're next!

Once berkman comes back, I want at least one day where we just completely punt defense and start this lineup:

Furcal
Beltran
Holliday
Berkman
Freese
Craig
Yadi
Jay
P

and score like 20 runs.

Assuming you put Craig at 2B, then every other position would be solid defensively. No complete punting necessary.

Yes, Craig at 2B. And you're right. Other than Berkman, the rest of the defense holds up nicely.

Let's punt pitching too and have Skip toss 9 innings.

There we go. That felt better.
