At least we're keeping our powder dry.

Plenty of room in payroll now. In 3-5 years we can come in second in the bidding for the top talent in the league. Then the billionaires can throw up their hands and say "We tried!" ::crazya:: It appears that barring a lightning strike, the Cards franchise is in for extended losing until new ownership shows up. Let's all say it together...."Low hanging fruit....powder dry....low hanging fruit....powder dry. :roll:

new ownership may not be the panacea some believe

the huge money guys are much more likely to pursue big market teams

stl could get a second tier owner with financial restraints

The new CBA will have more impact on the price of free agents than anything. If we don’t get a cap, STL won’t come in second. We won’t ever bid on the top talent. They’ll cost $50M AAV.
