Within the article, you'll see me giving shoutouts to some Cardinal bloggers and social media people who gave me the chance to share thoughts that turned into the invite for this event!

If McGreevy comes up, I'd hope it's to be a starter! Although, if he could fill the Matz role from earlier in the season, sign me up. I was against that early in the year but now that they know the team's strengths/weaknesses, they could find his spots maybe

The link to that episode. Let us know your thoughts! Is Bernal too good to pass up? #STLCards should deal from their catching depth?

Right, thank you. Gotta think his stay in on the 26-man is short lived though.
And I I know Granillo is a righty. He's only given up 4 hits to against 37 lefty at-bats so he could be an effective option beyond just the lefty split.

With the Helman DFA, they have an open spot. I'd like to see if Granillo can become a solid bullpen piece this year and help limit lefties if King/Romero struggle

Very well could be. I still think a starter trade/injury has to happen for that move and a trade could check off another box on the list. The classic two bird situation

Counterpoint: 5, 6, 7 have all the RBIs today so why change???
But I don't disagree. The rest of the lineup performing has taken some eyes away from Arenado's performance. Not bad at all, just not 4 hitter

Great points! The pitching has been great also. And since Oli said no help was coming from below, it’s been help from the minors that’s solidified the bullpen.

I'm open to shop Helsley no doubt. Arenado I'm hesitant on. He's under contract for 2 more seasons after this year so I'm leaning towards play it out with him this year then revisit trade talks in the offseason. A lot can change in the meantime of course

That totally makes sense! But it's gotta be difficult to rework a swing and then be expected to produce when you get your chance again at the highest level. Memphis provides a little low stress opportunity. I'd like to see Koperniak too but he's another lefty. Just want more offensive options!

Great question. They've sent him down twice before so what would a third time do to him? He obviously has to change his approach though. Then the question is who would be called up. Saggese is an option but they said he needs everyday time too. So then it may be someone like Siani again
