Grazie, Crav.
Is there any OF at AA that could help the big club this season?

I wish, right...no one's ready. Church was just promoted. I don't know if he could do any better than Vilade at the plate. He's great in the OF of course, and his arm is one of the best since Conner Capel in the farm system. Everyone needs AB's in Memphis...unfortunately...so "no" to being ready.

Would've been better to promote Saggese and stick Donovan in LF/RF.

Yes I cannot understand why Saggese wasn't called up when Walker went on the IL. Donnie in LF, Noot in RF. Seems kind of lame...

Thank you. One thing is for certain, Saggese has no incriminating pictures of anyone in this organization. 😎

Ragans fresh off the IL, he was touched up by Springfield last week in a rehab start with NW Arkansas.

He also gave up 4 runs in start vs. St. Louis in May

I may never agree with you more than on this.
It's possible that BD doesn't have a position on the
Infield in the future anyway.

I get this DH has two LH starters. But does Gorman need to be iced for both games to let Vilade roll? I guess Mo completely caved on his intention of getting Gorman 600 PAs. Oli is fighting for the third wildcard to save his job. The FO needs to enforce longer term thinking.

Proud of the way the ballclub fought some adversity and came back after Tuesday's loss.

Old mo should be back on their side to take the series.

No matter how well or how poorly the Cards end up doing at season's end I would like to see a new manager next season.

Obviously just my opinion (so no one calls me names for having one) but Oli's attitude alone is enough reason to send him packing. I would not think his chances of being hired to manage elsewhere are very good.

Correct.
Barrero and Vilade, are not investments of the
Cardinals. They are injury replacement depth.
