Another medical mystery in St. Louis

Furcal is falling apart. They are nuts to expect anything from him.

Agreed. My position was that Mozeliak should have invested more in the position than getting Ronny Cedeno this winter. Unfortunately, I think I was right.

forgive me father for I knopw not what I do:
Are the Cardinals going on a "Magical Medical Tour" this season?

I think you were right too.

Looking that way....

Rafael Furcal would be gone together with Carl Crawford, something similiar has to do with both players,, injuries in the elbows much alike!!!!

Furcal is,,,a injury wreck if notyhing else,,injury-prone for the last 4 years to be exactly,,,

Isn't he pretty old anyway? Old and in poor health, not a winning combo at a key position.

Yeah, the last time we signed an ex-Cub shortstop, we won a championship. Maybe the same will happen with Cedeno.

Hold on Bernie, the Cards are not in that bad of shape at SS as you are making it to be. They have four capable players to take over if needed. Your paper on Sunday suggested that they go out and trade Adams for Hardy and assume his 14 million dollar contract, very bad move.

Sounds like thd Mets medical staff has relocated west....I knew we'd get back at the "White Rat" eventually....:)

He's a good player when he's healthy, I think all his injuries and stints on the DL is why the Dodgers traded him to the Cardinals.....

Hardy isn't a good idea. I wouldn't mind seeing if they could trade Adams for a young promising shortstop. Let the new one, Kozma, and Descalso fight it out for the position. I don't see Cedano as anything more than a bench player.

Are there any teams with a need at first and a spare major league ready shortstop? Probably not. Good shortstops are as rare as good catchers now that PED testing is in full swing. I've had a bad feeling about SS all winter. Who really thought that ligament would heal itself?
