I don’t think so. As reliever? Maybe but I think price will be too high.

Do you believe they will? Is this what you recommended to Chaim when you met with him this Fall?

You are the Guru. What's your distinguished opinion on Helsley as a potential starting pitcher for the Cardinals?

That’s stupid. He couldn’t handle pitching two innings as a reliever he isn’t going to be successful as a starter

Yep, I kind of wondered about the rationale of returning Helsley to a starting pitcher role. However, he has been a starting pitcher in the past.

If the Cards have a 2.35% chance to win the 1st pick in next month's draft lottery, what's the highest they can pick?

Miles Mikolas played SS at 14yo, once, only once....we should bring him back to be a Utility Infielder... Trade the 2023 TL MVP.

This was actually talked about in the last year or two.

it's been talked about every year since he started the path towards reliever in 2019 AAA then the MLB....he has 2 pitches....4 Seamer and Slider. His 4 seamer only plays up as a reliever, not a starter....he couldn't have made it as a starter in the Majors.....we saw both pitches fail last year, there's no reason to believe either will be good enough on their own to start.

Guru, you seem to be flipping out with your Shady obsession. Just stay in your lane and quit being a Richard.

That is a dumb (donkey) thing that Johnny numb nuts would've tried. Bloom is smarter than Mo.
