"I've added more power this year. I'm really happy about the way I'm hitting the ball," Taveras said. "Everyone asks me where the power comes from, but I don't know. The power's coming and that's really good."

lol it was Ray Durham in 2006. He hit 26 HR, and thats out best non-Bonds power season since 02. Its pretty sad, and just shows how difficult our park makes hitting for power. It also shows that our FO doesnt really feel the need to try and add power...ever...

That would wipe out your farm system, and cost a buttload. Hes on the books until like 2020. I doubt they move a franchise SS for pitching prospects. Especially since they dont plan on making pitching a priority with that stupid 75 pitch cap.

Id be pissed if i were a Cards fan and they made that trade. Thats alot to sacrifice for an injury riddled player, especially when more offense is a luxury, not a need.
