I think the AL lineup is better overall, but the NL has much more power throughout.

Wow.

[funkster]

Another move we should be happy the FO didn't make.

Another move we should be happy the FO didn't make.

If the FO would have made the move, I have every confidence that they wouldn't have given up what AZ did. Which is probably why they didn't. ATL's asking price was sky high.

I seem to recall that Atlanta, according to sources, wanted a package built around Soler and Baez/Russell. Some Cubs fans, inexplicably, seemed to think that was a fair starting point.

From MLBTR:

Former Cardinals scouting director Chris Correa has been sentenced to 46 months in prison for his role in the illegal breach of the Astros proprietary computer network, reports David Barron of the Houston Chronicle. Via the Associated Press and KSDK News, Correa has also been $279K in restitution. Correa had plead guilty to five counts of unauthorized access to a private computer, each of which carried a maximum potential sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

[Butcher]

Holy shit.

What's the punishment for the Cardinal organization? The organization, not the individual, stood to benefit the most from his actions so ..

[Butcher]

The whole roster goes to prison? *fingers crossed*

Busch Stadium is burned to the ground, the team moved to Anchorage, and members of the Astros get to take free trips up in the Arch whenever they are in St. Louis.

The free trips up the Arch made me laugh out loud.
