Get him back in Sept, get a handful of starts in, and you have a huge X factor for the postseason.

Edit; Have JV do the same. All of a sudden you have too many starters and decisions to make.

This is a problem I would be thrilled to have

Couldn't we also see an appearance from Verlander?

Imagine the rotation if both of those players come back. Although, it depends on how long they are able to come back and prepare for the post-season if we make it.

Yes, that would be a lovely scenario. All things considered if both come back it will give us a LOT more options for how to navigate post-season starts/bullpens

I cannot imagine Verlander doing that with free agency looming, but who knows.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Maybe he will get tired of banging Kate and want to do something different in his evenings

I know. You feel for the guy and hope one thing can go right in his miserable life.

He's a pretty fierce competitor. If he's ready to pitch I think he will. If he does well, that helps him in free agency.

Oh, that's good. Strommy magic and a Castro battery might result in a very positive year.

Can't say I blame him. Worst case he has it in the offseason and misses a month or two next year. I'd be interested as to what the alternative is. I assume they can splint it and just let it heal but perhaps there is a less extreme surgical option?

Doesn't signing odorizzi present a rooster crunch problem? Unless they put framber on the 60 day IL, do they have an open spot for him on the 40 man?

Yes, but it seems like 60 day IL would be inevitable.

Game today is televised by the Cardinals broadcast team. For those with mlb.tv, game starts at 1pm eastern. There is a delayed broadcast on mlb network, but not sure what time.

Whatever. I've given up any hope that Whitley will ever develop or morph into a pitcher worth his weight.

Trade him while he still has a little value. At least gets some bats or a gatorade cooler for him. We flipped Corbin while he was on the mend from TJS, we can do it with Whitley.

Not that we were counting on him this year, but that sucks for the kid. It seemed like he was finally putting it together.

Selling at his absolutely lowest isn't ideal. Take him off the prospect rankings. Let him build back up and try again. His ceiling is still ace. If we trade him what do we get? Low end reliever? Couple mid level prospects?

Not trying to be a smartass, but based on what do you think was he finally putting it together?

I think that was the initial prognosis. JV knew he would miss this year either way so was hoping to gut out a few postseason appearances.

Yup. Like Lance did in 2018. He knew he needed to go under the knife but he wanted a shot at a ring. He still did pretty damn well all things considered.

So who is this Kent Emanuel guy? He's carving up the Cardinals best hitting lineup through 2 innings so far.
