Winn is 2, 6, or 7.
Burleson is anywhere 3-6.
Scott is 9.
that's pretty good, JA.

Though, with current roster, you assume Donovan is 1st, and then Herrera would offset the LHB by batting 2nd. If Donovan is traded, then JJ leads off, and Herrera still bats 2nd
That makes sense.
If Blloom can get at least one more viable MOTO bat. I'd flip Herrera and Burleson at 5 and 6 depending on the starter. Unless there's an upgrade to the lineup> I'd take Burleson at 5 vs a RHP. Especially, a RHP with really good stuff. Herrera strikes out too much against that type RHP.

Shady, Craviduce and I are still waiting for your answer to our questions yesterday. Do you believe that Donnie will bring back a TOR starter or a MOTO bat?

Thanks, I will hang up and listen.
Obviously, It depends on how many suitors Bloom has that really want Donovan. And if they have an overabundance of talent at starting pitching and/or at a position in which a really nice bat is available.
Name some names.
Good question. Maybe some posters that follow various organizations can opine.
But you’re the one who’s been telling us what a “savvy GM” could accomplish, so surely you have some names in mind that you think are obtainable.
I do have some names in mind. But I'm going to keep you on the edge of your seat for a while to see how you behave. LOL
Man, I'm with you. During the season you constructed a brilliant Jordan Walker for Bubba Chandler trade. Kudos for your exceptional vision and shame on the Cardinals for not executing. I eagerly await the return you propose for a better player in Donovan. It will astonish all of us.
