I miss having an elite player in their prime

Kyle Tucker is a FA this winter . . . if he gets to free agency.

Can I sign Tucker no matter the cost, move Walker to left, and consider myself to have the finest defensive outfield in baseball.

I'll allow it.

What about top level outfield offense in baseball.

Watching guys like Ohtani and Judge go out there and dominate essentially every game makes me miss having essentially the best player in baseball for 10 years. Makes you really go back and appreciate what you had but also realize that it may not be coming back anytime soon

Agree with you. Couple of points:

The truly elite are rare and with current salary structure in baseball chances of playing for Cards is not likely, unless rises through organizational ranks.

In some ways management has tried to provide us with such players with Arenado and Goldy. But obviously they were and are disappointments.

They, also, tried to get Stanton, Price and Heyward. Thank goodness that didn't happen.

Honestly all those moves I thought were great moves. None were the talent level of Albert but supposedly big talents. It’s almost like the organization is jinxed.

The organization is blessed. We haven't traded a player who had more than 1 100 RBI season since Johnny Mize after the 1941 season. I don't count Adolis Garcia with a .295 lifetime OBP.

Garcia had 2 100 RBI seasons whether you like it or not.

I’m sure you are well aware but Wank can’t be taken seriously. He thinks Gorman is special.

I think he gets there, not sure the scrubs will pony up the $400+M it's reported he's seeking, B. Nightengale say's it could be $500M (I don't see that though).
