St. Louis Cardinal Fans................take a risk on signing Manny R.?
- Thread starter Indndawg

I can handle keeping McGwire since he has pretty much took his beating and seems to be donig a good job as hitting coach. Really would have liked to have thrown an offer at Maholm. With a good lineup and an average defense I think he could be a 15 game winner.
Edited to add that Im not being a moralist, I just dont want to hear the Cards name drug through steroid association talk more than it already is

They have Holliday, Beltran, Allen Craig, and Jon Jay as well as Skip Shumaker. I don't see any room for him. Also, he is a defensive liability and is not a good clubhouse guy. If they signed him to a minor league deal, odds are he would not make the team. The only way I could see it being possible is if they traded either Jay or Shumaker- highly unlikely the Cardinals will do that.
He needs to go somewhere that needs a DH such as Oakland or Seattle.
The only moves I could see the Cardinals possibly making are maybe signing someone like Roy Oswalt- not all that likely, and only if his price goes down or signs a backloaded deal- and maybe sign a second baseman like a Carlos Guillen for a year for maybe a millon dollars. The Cardinals budget is tight right now- there are good odds that they do nothing. They would probably have to trade Kyle McClellan to make one of the moves I just talked about- and that is certainly not imminent.
