However I would be surprised if he would want a deal with Cards. He is looking for the chance to reprove himself. Role with Cardinals would be spot position. Fitting into rotation at times, bull pen role at other times. If he does ok trade at deadline possibly.

This would be the ultimate BDWJr move though, trying to pitch the useless Mikolas who's been one of the worst starters in MLB for years (Last 98 GS: 4.98 ERA) as a "fan favorite" to the fan base.

Hand the ball to minor league starter after minor league starter, sign a FA starter for $2-3M coming off an injury if you need innings but don't bring back this idiot.

End the madness Dewitt.

They are not going to sign three difference maker arms, two they desperately need isn't going to happen either. So, if the price is right, offer him a one year, with an option for two, he does provide innings. He is your 4/5 guy, he is not the problem in the rotation pitching from there. Expecting him to match up against other teams top guys was the problem. I said it before, and I will mention it again. You need to understand the guys you have on your roster, what they are capable of, and then put them in the best position to succeed. THAT is the biggest thing that is not happening with this team. It is the very reason guys flourish under great managers, and then fall off the cliff on another roster, and visa versa. Mikolas could be very usefull if utilised properly. Reup him a season of two, let him retire a Cardinal, then debate if he is red jacket material.

Just my thoughts.

Now, on the flipside, if they want to seriously sink some money into the rotation like they should, then all gets are off. But that ain't going to happen.

Strongly disagree.

I never want to see that clown in St. Louis again.

Hopefully Bloom agrees.

If it does happen, then it wil be a BDWJr move and NOT a C. Bloom move although he'll be ordered to "sell it" to the fan base.
