Reyes, Jay and Ottavino would be a package I could live with, but I doubt Beane could.

I wouldn't want to give up Rasmus or Anderson. But if a package featuring Reyes would get it done I'd take the chance. Wasn't Carp oft-injured before he came to STL?

Absolutely, but he was low-risk, high reward.

Harden is high-risk, high reward.

We would have to give up top prospects which we don't have enough of. He would have to be as close to a sure thing as you can get.

I read that the doc is now telling Harden to shut it down for at least another 10 days.

Would you still do a trade?

For a package featuring Reyes, probably.

Harden would be nice, but would also be something of a foolish expenditure of resources. The need is on offense. The pitching is rife with question marks, but a stick is the easiest/quickest way to get better.

Will Cincy ship Adam Dunn?

Every year this question get asked. So why not this year?

I'm starting to think Harden suffers from Prioritis.

Or, Priopism, if you will.
