You are right. I'm probably being a little hypocritical ragging on Cranny. So how about this. Cranny relax and listen to this song whenever people bother you.
Shucks, 2ninr. I’m just a guy who appreciates very much the PD having a free Cards Talk forum for all Cardinal fans to enjoy ant no cost. And the fact that they also lay out posting rules for the benefit of all. Rules that that are designed keep things friendly and in good taste.2ninr wrote: ↑31 May 2025 11:50 amYou are right.

Then report the use of "eff" to the moderators and see if they'll enforce these rule(s) you're touting. There's been profanity in this forum since I started coming here in '04, but you still keep coming here to, what, verify this free forum disagrees with you regarding the use of profanity on it's forum?Cranny wrote: ↑31 May 2025 11:57 amShucks, 2ninr.

The language issue is silly...the site gives people the ability to censor words so they won't be offended...I'm assuming anyone who is constantly offended should either stop coming to the thread or quit (bleep).AnExParrot wrote: ↑31 May 2025 16:20 pmThen report the use of "eff" to the moderators and see if they'll enforce these rule(s) you're touting.

Yup, they still don't care, and you're still doing this stupid effing [stuff].

Hensley has to agree to only one offer without fielding others in free agency.
His agent will advise him to forego free agency.
The Cardinals, who have long absolutely butchered the signing of higher-end free agent relievers, will spend a huge amount of money on a reliever despite multiple options in the system (Roby, Hence, Graceffo, Granillo, etc.).2
And most of all, you’ve advised doing it and you’re always wrong.
Trade Helsley then go get fairbanks...have him this year and next year...Futuregm2 wrote: ↑30 May 2025 10:46 amIf they were to deal Helsley, I think you look at Dodgers or Phillies. Not sure if they’d deal him, but Mick Abel is interesting on the Phillies. He fell off of top 100 lists after last season, but he’s bounced back huge this year.rockondlouie wrote: ↑30 May 2025 10:36 amHelsley also has a well known injury history that MAY limit the return.Talkin' Baseball wrote: ↑30 May 2025 09:21 amThe return last year for Tanner Scott (who is not as good as Ryan Helsley) was San Diego's #2, #4, #5, and #24 prospects. The #2 prospect was starting pitcher Robby Snelling who was the #44 overall prospect in MLB at the time. The return for Helsely might no be identical, but the market for closers is really good this year and he is the best one available. Why do we assume that we can't get a good return?rockondlouie wrote: ↑30 May 2025 08:56 am IF the Cardinals are still in contention as we near the end of the trading deadline, then the ONLY one I'd definitely try to move is M. Mikolas.
Why if Mikolas is pitching well?
1) Because if he's pitching well the free-agent-to-be, who the Cardinals aren't re-signing, could actually bring back a decent prospect something unthinkable given his horrid 2023/2024.
and
2) M. McGreevy is sitting on the tarmac in Memphis where's he's pitching well and has been nothing but outstanding when handed the ball in St. Louis
I think the return for E. Fedde, unless he's pitching really well, would be minimal and the same for S. Matz.
They might be more valuable here if the Cardinals are making a run at the NLC or a WC slot.
There is no replacement for R. Helsley.
Dealing him 100% signals BDWJr is running up the white flag, I also question what the return would be.
NADO (NTC) most likely not going anywhere unless the Dodgers come calling.
JMO
And his 2025 peripherals are down (strikeout rate, ect...) while his walk rate is up but his velo is still elite.
And we all know AJ Preller is a MORON, so if you could get him to do that again for Helsley.....then h e l l yes!
The Phillies would be the team to target given J. Alvardo's PED suspension but not sure what they'd offer.
Understand, IF the Cardinals are well behind the scrubbies and WC leaders, then I'm all for selling off Helsley, Fedde, Matz and Mikolas is he'd waive the NTC, NADO too for whatever you can get rather than see the FA's to be just walk.
Wonder if Dodgers would be interested in Nado+Helsley.
