Shady is soaked has thousands of thread, unfortunately
I suppose the real question is - What is Shady soaked in? I'll let you all figure that out, not sure I want to know

Just email yourself these thoughts. That’s where you’re headed with all your “add foe” dementiaShady wrote: ↑18 Dec 2025 15:24 pmSoak this. You are an "Add foe". Good riddance.HorseTrader wrote: ↑18 Dec 2025 15:12 pm

Mikolas and Fedde were both replacement level pitchers last year (0.3 and 0.0 fWAR, respectively). Please tell us what two starting pitchers the Cardinals realistically can add who will contribute “at least 10” fWAR in 2026. Be specific.Shady wrote: ↑18 Dec 2025 16:37 pmAt least 10.Talkin' Baseball wrote: ↑18 Dec 2025 15:49 pm I see a different two factors. Fedde and Mikolas (and even Pallante).

I'd like an increase of 1 WAR from 6 position players and 4 WAR from pitching. Say 2 WAR from May, 1 WAR from Fitts and 1 WAR from Liberatore.NYCardsFan wrote: ↑18 Dec 2025 16:45 pmMikolas and Fedde were both replacement level pitchers last year (0.3 and 0.0 fWAR, respectively).

and we lost at least 3.5 WAR with the Gray trade...even if Fitts optimistically produces at least 1 WAR, you have to account for another 2.5 WAR.NYCardsFan wrote: ↑18 Dec 2025 16:45 pmMikolas and Fedde were both replacement level pitchers last year (0.3 and 0.0 fWAR, respectively).
