I'm reading that the Cards are going after Gordon and are going to try and trade for Carlos Gonzalez. Will be interesting to see who all Mo is going to offer for him.

I wouldn't mind Cargo or Gordon. I wonder why the Cards have yet to make a push for Cespedes over the past 6 months? I'm on the fence about Davis. His strikeout rate is alarming, but we desperately need a big bat!

I'm fine with Davis, but not for 7/150. If he has another year like 2014 he isn't worth anywhere near that, and a contract that runs through age 36 for a player like that is almost guaranteed to blow up in your face.

Gordon would be a great fit.

Cespedes isn't worth the money he is asking for

Solid point. I haven't even bothered to search for his asking price. After seeing what the Mets gave up midseason to land him, it made me join the side that thought the Cards could have easily traded for him instead.

So we land Gordon then go after another SP, right?

Gordon is best case scenario.

As far as pitchers, it seems like they're pursuing Wei-Yin Chen. Solid but not particularly exciting. Cueto is still available, although rooting for that douche would feel so dirty.

When you gonna move Holliday to first like he needs to be?

Never thought he would go for it, but...

Matt Holliday is working hard at first base in Jupiter, Fla. According to spies who have seen workouts up there, Holliday is doing it on his own to try to lengthen his career, but if he looks really good there, maybe they would still consider Alex Gordon. In any case, with the losses of Heyward, Jon Jay and Peter Bourjos, there isn't much outfield depth. So they'll need to sign someone for the outfield, preferably someone who can play center field.

Just found this thread; season starting soon, Go Cards!

I despise the Cubs, but I am afraid they will be tough to beat this year.

They're definitely spending the $ and bringing in players. But that doesn't always equate to immediate success. Dodgers fans can attest to that.

The biggest difference, to me, between the Cubs and Dodgers is that Chicago has a young team that, for the most part, is locked in financially for several years. Dodgers fans can definitely agree with what you're saying

Another big difference is the Cubs have Maddon and the Dodgers had Mattingly. Also, the Cubs have less head cases than the Dodgers over priced payroll.

I do hope I am wrong and they under perform, losing to them in the playoffs was brutal.

Not surprised by the signing of Tejada. The battle for SS should be exciting. I sure do miss the days of Renteria, though
