Nado homers in first ST at bat

And so it already begins...[fork]ing updates on ex Cards...

Some people just cannot let go. We're going to have to hear about every plate appearance, I guess

We sold low. If he does well, could have gotten a lot more at the deadline so yeah, look back confirmation matters.

Well there’s no way to sell high on a guy who is aging and regressed three seasons in a row and sucked the past two seasons unless you keep him and a miracle happens. He will have a better season but not a good season in Arizona because it’s a hitter friendly park and some people will probably be silly enough to think he would have had a similar season if he stayed in St. Louis in a hitter unfriendly park that he complained about multiple times

[Melville]

Could be a sign of a great season for him, yeah yeah I know only spring training

"Nado homers in first ST at bat"
Thank goodness it happened in AZ, not Florida.
Disaster averted.

I agree. If the goal is to maximize our prospect return for our veterans, and not simply shed payroll, then why sell low? Not like he was blocking anyone significant at 3B. All we did was clear the way for Gorman to reach 250 strikeouts and give up runs with the glove.

We could have gotten much more if he has a bounce back year, and if not, could’ve flipped him for the same bunch of nothing and paid him to play somewhere else later. Not like there’s any reinvestment of any savings right now anyway.

I disagree with the keep all players who suck because you don’t want to sell low on them theory lol

Does he suck worse than the alternatives? At least he could play some defense and not strikeout 200 times. Some act like he was the worst player in MLB. I hope he has an all star year just to (bleep) off the haters that act like it wouldn’t bother them because he’s no longer a Cardinal. If he hit that bomb for us in the first spring AB, there would already be talk of comeback player of the year.

He will have a better year because he is going to go from
A very unhitter friendly park that he complained about constantly to a very friendly park so yea he will have a better year hit more home runs there but it still won’t be a good year but I’ll bet you’ll be one of the ones saying he would have had the same year if he stayed in St. Louis lol

Does it bother you that I don’t hate Arenado and don’t think he’s a loser, or coward, or whatever other ridiculous labels he’s been given here for getting old and not winning multiple MVPs?

Also, a humidor was installed at Chase Park a few years back and since it has been much more fair.

I don’t hate arenado either but I don’t have to hate a player to realize they do in fact suck. And if that’s true and the humidor and it made it as bad as St. Louis then yea he will suck there also

I’m not saying I even wanted him as our starting 3B. I’m just saying that when compared to our other alternatives, his amount of suck has a correlation to the potential replacements. If he was blocking a stud prospect…sure, DFA him if necessary. All his departure did was open the door for Nolan Gorman, and IIRC, you’re one of the ones who actually realizes how bad NG sucks. If he’s the alternative, then they should’ve just kept NA until the deadline.

So Randy and Adolis wouldn't have had the seasons they did if they had stayed in STL, ok...

Yeah sometimes "miracles" do happen and the true cause is just simply getting healthy and reverting to the mean. That's actually not unlikely with nado, even if he'd stayed here. But he's gone now, and so is a lot of cash, with not much coming back this way. Keep pretending we should be happy about it.

To be clear I would not have been upset if they kept arenado I said it before he was traded I wouldnt care if they kept him sure he sucks at hitting but he still is great defensively and Gorman sucks at hitting and fielding. I’m also not upset at him being traded though because I don’t think Gorman has a full season runway I think if he’s butchering it still in the field and still sucking at the plate after a month or two they will drastically reduce his playing time and go to saggase or someone else they would not do that if they kept arenado he would be playing everyday no matter what and the cardinals probably would definitely not be able to trade him
At that point especially if he continued to decline

[cardstatman]

Do we get half a home run since we are paying part of his salary?

I won't settle for anything less than 75%

Yeah, Gorman shouldn’t get more than a few months to show some drastic improvements on both sides. The team needs time to give someone else a chance if NG is just showing the same as always.
