If it weren't for the injuries to Wacha and Garcia the Cardinals would not be doing these trades for pitching, they would be doing trades for hitters.

No doubt dog the offense has been waaaay down. Even worse with risp, I bet. But c'mon....20 points down on the friggen hitting coaches back?

Alan Craig has lost his bat speed. He looks like a cork screw at the plate. He's in a season long slump. He's 30 years old. He's got 25 mil left on his contract. Matheney kept putting him out there nite after nite. We have the long awaited Tavaras in place.

Add it all up and it's hard to blame Mo for shipping him out. Me I think Boston is taking a big gamble but they could give two chits about money.

Personally I hate to lose Kelly of the two.

People think Boston won this deal only time will tell but for the here and now Mo had to do something because it's been the same mojo the whole season and the season is about to be determined.
