There is no one worth keeping on this teams roster, to build around.

No argument here scouty

(The one to build around will be JJW)

"No one worth keeping on this team's roster, to build around". What a joke. Sheesh.

When it comes to "jokes" you're the expert cranny.

Attacking the poster instead of the post again, rock?

You started it cranny calling our opinions a "joke", no need for you to even butt in on scouty & I's conversation but you did.

Buck up cranny.

Yes, I called your opinions (posts) a joke, rock. Nothing about you and scouty on the personal side.

This roster contains no franchise players to build around, we spoke the truth.

There are people worth keeping (i.e. Winn), but no franchise players to be sure.

He won’t mention it, Red, because he’s been warned by the powers to be and doesn’t want to get banned. But the references are obvious, don’t you think?

They did, and that’s why I have him on ignore per their demand, and will keep him there.

Serious question: If you have him on “ignore” (i.e., Foe List) and therefore allegedly can’t see/read his posts, then how is possible for you to directly quote-reply to him?

You follow with a post after every one of my posts. Not vice versa. Stop the stalking and trolling before it’s too late for you.

That has nothing to do with watching a AAA team on September 5th. Typical.

Donovan, Arenado, Burleson, etc. are AAA players?
Sheesh.

Every team has injuries. And the Cardinals have been the beneficiary of having just two pitchers the entire year go on the IL. And they were relievers who weren't very special. The Cubs and Dodgers lost top starters for long periods. The Cubs lost their top starter for the season very early.

And how did this team do with Arenado, Donovan and Burly in the lineup? Not very well. Arenado's noodle bat especially is not missed.

They were 9 over .500 at one point.
