Give three examples without using the letter S.

Just swell.
Given the Cardinals need for a big OF bat, ease of PED forgiveness, and Matheny's love of Affliction T-shirts...Ryan Braun is the only answer.

I'd imagine the FCA clubhouse is positive for some players and a negative for others and way down the list of importance for almost all.

Ryan Braun is all of those things as well a known child rapist and pornographer but I'd take him in a heartbeat at this point.

I would take Braun just because his salaries of 20 million in 2017, 20M in '18, 19M in '19 and 17M in '20 are kind of conservative for what it costs to get star players nowadays. He's only entering his age 33 season so he still has a few more good years in him.

How about a trade for Billy Hamilton? Doubtful the Reds would trade him within the division? Or maybe worse, we give up prospect(s) in the division.

He might have a problem with the prayer meetings.

He and Matheny share a love of Affliction shirts, so I'm sure all would be forgiven.
