Jorge Alcala cleaimed from Bosox

Well, what's the harm.

If he sucks, then we move on. If he's good, then maybe we've hit luck and he can be a decent piece and fit in that Riley O'Brien "middle innings fireballer" role that he used to have.

The harm is, we keep picking up [shirt]ty players. The [shirt]ty players [shirt] the bed, and we lose. We keep losing because of them. Thats the harm.

Best you look at his entire career before commenting.

A playoff team didn't have room for him, in spite of said career.

He's an arm. He didn't cost anything. If he blossoms StL can keep him via arb, and if not it's no loss.

can't wait for dimwit MO to be GONE

My guess is this pickup has nothing to do with Mo.

[jbrach]

if we had signed this guy after last season people would have applauded...no risk here so lets see

[Midrange Jay]

Now it’s a logjam. We are going to need another season to see what we have.

Sounds like a typical MO acquisition.

That’s exactly why you look at a pitcher’s entire career. Last season he was in 54 games for the Twins and had a 3.24 ERA with a WHIP of 1.029.

Yup. II and III gave hkm permission to up the old payroll.

Do you ever study a player when he comes to the Cards?

[butsir01]

Be very, very careful.

[Cranny]

Be very, very careful.

You too.
