I'll Make This "Short" and Sweet...

...Seeing as how thin the SS position is, would you keep J.J. Hardy over potentials like Gerrit Cole and Oscar Taveras, or would you take the chance that you get lucky in the draft? And if you were to keep him, would you drop Taveras or Cole?

 

[TREFF]

My short answer is. .I like Hardy and wouldn't scoff at anyone who did keep him. . But I'd take my chances in the Draft.

Well, things have changed. Just traded Cole for Anthony Rizzo. I can hear you and tlance now, screaming "No, you fool!".

However, I'm keeping Taveras.

You're batting .500 ... that's gotta be worth 30M per.

I hope the stuff I hear about him being a hypochondriac does not end up holding up him advancing.

I read a lot of those posts from Cards fans, little surprised at that. The way I see it, he's a young kid who had his first big injury. Give him a little time to get over it.

Of course, if the Cardinals lose patience, he'd look pretty good in a Mets uniform.
