Nolan Arenado: He's worse than last year. So how we gonna rid ourselves of this plague?

[Shady]

Burleson has taken some heat for his lack of power production. But, Arenado, as the cleanup hitter, really needs to pick up his power numbers.

Not every single thread requires a Burleson cameo

Hotshot, you don't make the rules.

he doesn't. But you're breaking one. You're supposed to stay On Topic, not try to Hijack Threads. It's the ONE Thing that the Mod Dierker still holds dear...

I guess people are free to report you?

However, you've done that on some of my threads in the past. Actually, you are doing that with this distraction from discussing Arenado. So report yourself.

He only has 2/$30 left after this year. Someone will take that on. We won’t get much in return, but that’s low risk to a team with resources.

Most the teams on his trade list pay the luxury tax. For the biggest spenders that could be 100% of his salary. I'm not sure the Cardinals would be willing to offset enough of that for them.

I don't go around saying "Burleson" on all your threads...you do that

I was making a comparative comment pertaining to the OP. Quit being a trouble-maker.

Arenado gives great defense at a premium position. His hitting has been timely and clutch while not prolific. A hot streak will cure the complaints.

There are other bats in the lineup I'm more concerned about. Especially the replacement, Gorman.

If the Cardinals are in the race at the deadline, Arenado stays until they are out of it. Then see how Bloom constructs the team and handles the off-season.

Prediction: Burleson will be traded before Arenado.

"Burleson will be traded before Arenado". No way. The organization wants to trim salary. Burleson makes peanuts compared to Arenado.

I think he's bringing the team down too.
Needs to be axed, moved whatever.
He's worse than last year.
Not sure anyone will take him.
Could he be exacting revenge on MO?

Plague? he has top 10 3b WAR in MLB

You mean he's a player who doesn't get better as they get older? My goodness, I've never heard of that happening to any player before.

Hotshot, you don't make the rules. Why not try to make an intelligent comment about Arenado's lack of power as the Cardinals cleanup hitter?

Oli places him in the 4th slot in the lineup. (buzz) about Oli then and not Arenado.

Still plays great defense and has a 107 OPS. AND...he wants to be here.

It does if you're Shady/Maple/Wally/Robert Shelton.

Neither Arenado or Contreras are legitimate cleanup hitters. Right now, Contreras is a # 5 and Arenado a #6. Check his power numbers. The problem is, the Cardinals don't have a legit #4 hitter in sight.

That's so intimidating. But it's getting kind of old.
