Either we'll resign him or get draft picks. It could be worse.
right. Won't be able to get a better feel for "winning" or "losing" the trade until we see who the Cards select with the extra picks if Holliday walks, then won't know for sure until those guys develop.

Dealing for DeRosa and Holliday in the same summer is pretty damn good. Especially when it's the two biggest trades so far this season.
I agree. It's great to see some aggressiveness whether it works out in the end or not.

On a side note: Look at the Insider headlines - "Olney: Buerhle is breathtaking". Guess Olney doesn't watch Seinfeld?

It's great to see some aggressiveness when you have the best hitter on the face of the planet.

Given the last few weeks, I think this says the organization is behind Mo. I don't see him as a gimped GM anymore.
