OK.....Let's assume this happens and we're all delighted beyond delighted.

Everyone: Give a A through F grade for this off season, assuming Rendon is in, and we bring back Chirinos.

A- and could still change either way.

we might still go after ryu or another pitcher. If we still get rendon and another starter, I’d be stoked.

Same thing about Highland Park but I was in the service with a guy from there and we became close friends and remain so today. People are people and generally treat you the way you react and treat them. In the military you meet people from every where and they are pretty much the same depending how you treat them.

I agree with you for the most part. But there are places where an outsider isn't really welcomed with open arms, and this has nothing to do with money, but attitude.

I moved around a lot as an adult, and all by choice. And I assure you St Louis sucks, and it sucks b/c of the people. I lived there for 18 LONG months, and it was the only place I ever lived where people didn't ask me over for Thanksgiving, ball games, cookouts, etc......I had a lady tell me once, and she was dead serious; 'Once you've been here for a couple of years people will losen up and you will really like it here.' To which I replied, 'SO, newcomers have to serve a two year apprentiship in order to be accepted into your community? Why's that?'

Salt Lake was Mormon odd, with 'some' problems, but I made a bunch of friends there.

I spent 3 years in Baghdad, and I swear I'd go back there LONG BEFORE I'd go back to Suck Louis!

Have you seen enough of Calhoun to have him as a bat producer for the foreseeable future?
He was producing in the minors and with the fact of being called up and sent down multiple times still hit 21 HRs in 309 ABs last season. We just can't sit that. Most teams will have some holes on defense but DH would be his best spot but I can live with him in LF at times just to get his bat in the lineup.

And the underwhelming feeling of that trade continues. But time will tell.

Yes Mazara not reaching his potential here is a justified disappointment. Get you can't hit on them all but still hurts. Read where he did not buy in enough on getting more loft in his swings. Perhaps a factor

With stakes this high, he will go with place of choice rather than money

Not really interested in trade with a Yanks. If we could extend Bryant, I do like that. Otherwise Jung could easily be on the fast track
