Cardinals rumored to be working on a blockbuster

Ludwick, Perez, Anderson, Green and Mortensen for Holliday, Fuentes, and a player to be named later.

if they don't make some kind of move. If they don't, they are waving the white flag for this year. No way this team can compete in Central with the bullpen as is.

I'd be all for it, if Anderson wasn't in the package. He is blocked by Yadi, but he could bring a lot in another trade. Having him and Ludwick in the deal is too much in my opinion.</p>They don't need to be shipping off too many prospects, as the farm has just started looking good again, but Holliday and Fuentas would be great additions.

of getting Jackson for Tex. It would help to have someone that hits in May and doesn't just hit homers when the game is already decided.

The bullpen has imploded. Fluentes alone will not sure it up but it would help alot. This offense still needs something. Ludwick has been a godsend but he is still too inconsistent. He WILL NOT swing at a strike on the outside part of the plate unless its too far to reach them he wails away. I have seen him atleast half a dozen times take strike 3 on the outside part of the plate in the 9th inning of a game. I have no problem with the deal as long as the player to be named is worth a crap.

The player to be named will be a prospect who you have never heard of. And will never hear of again.

Which is typical in these kinds of deals.

Thats not entirely true. In some cases your right but the teams recieves a list of about a dozen players consisting of a couple Triple A players and the rest some of the better Double A players that a team has. The recieving team has a set period of time to watch the players and choose. Names dont come to mind but I have heard of several turning into very good players at the pro level.
