jkrdevil Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 AL Manager- Lou PinellaNL- Ned YostBiggest SurpirseAL- TB Devil RaysNL- Milwaukee BrewersTrade- Randy Johnson to the Yankees.Clemens isn't going anywhere, he came out of retirement to pitch at home so he could be close to his family and to pitch with Pettitte. Getting traded makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Tank, I don't disagree with any really. I think Tony La Russa is as good a choice for NL Manager of the Year though, because he has got a team predicted no higher than third, way ahead of the mighty Astros and Cubs. Yoest is a fine choice though.For the same reasons, it could be the Cards for the surprise, but again, Brewers are a good choice too.pcgd, that rumor was pretty well blasted by TLR (or maybe it was Walt). He says it had no basis.No surprise, because while I wouldn't mind have Millwood and/or Polanco, niether gives us any upgrades for the stretch run, actually, just downgrades. I'll take Morris over Millwood, at least this year, and I'll take Womack over Polanco this year too. Plus, losing Steve Kline would suck. And the truth is, we have a great shot at signing Polanco in the off season, and I've also heard Millwood would be happy to play in St. Louis if we wanted him. So, there's no reason to get these guys now. JUSTIN STRIEBEL | PORTFOLIO | RESUME | CONTACT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 OH I agree, I added weird in there for a reason. I know Clemens isn't going anywhere, but just to hear "Red Sox/Clemens" in the same sentence was very weird.And the cardinals trade, I couldn't believe for those same reasons you said. As long as LaRussa is back next year (he will be) they'll probably get polanco and they do have a good shot at signing Millwood. Cause Morris is probably gone. Renteria might be too. But we've got luna, just in case. I'd hate it but he makes me feel better about it if it does happen. I'm rambling...All in all it will be an intersting off season. Perhaps better than last years. I wonder if Kline was brought up in the rumor for giving the finger to La Russa (j/k). I think it'd be cool if La Russa instead of tapping one of his arms, just flicked off the bullpen to single for Kline. Just once... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
