Posted July 30, 200321 yr the Cards reportedly pulled the DL Drew deal back because of Edmonds questionable health also, the front office does NOT want to deal Luis at all because of what he means to this team and South Fla(meaning he may be hear next year) dont plan on getting a bat reliever is more likely take it for what its worth
July 30, 200321 yr huh, thanks for the update Ramp. It never really made sense to trade a guy when no one healthy is available to take his spot. Lets just work a deal for Sullivan and get on with SWEEPING THE BACKS. I don't even care if we don't make a deal. I have so much confidence in this team why screw it up.

July 30, 200321 yr eh, i liked the prospect of getting drew, but more for the future than for now, lets make with what we got and take it into the play offs baby!
July 30, 200321 yr While I would've liked to get Drew. We still have a very dangerous lineup and I know Cabs can get the job done. I'm glad Cabs will be our LF for the rest of the season, because it will be a good experience for him and I think he'll grow from it. I just hope we can get Sullivan.
July 30, 200321 yr the Cards reportedly pulled the DL Drew deal back because of Edmonds questionable health Ramp, Where did you hear this? Edmonds is hurt, but Drew can't really fill in for him because he can't play everyday. There is a poster on the Cards forum that seems to have sources within the Cards FO. He said that there's a good possibility that the Cards will trade for Suppan, but there other deals on the table as well.
July 30, 200321 yr GOOD about the Luis thing Not so sure about that. Granted, it's great for a playoff run, but not trading Castrillo is tantamount to laying yet another length of rail towards the train-wreck that will be this offseason. I get the feeling more and more that the FO is viewing this year as an all or nothing venture, hoping they make a substantive run at the playoffs and then leveraging that performance towards getting a stadium deal done this off-season. Every trade they don't make leads them farther down the road of no return with all of these arby-eligible and FA players.
July 30, 200321 yr also, the front office does NOT want to deal Luis at all because of what he means to this team and South Fla(meaning he may be hear next year) agreed Fillet.... I'm not sure what they mean by that. Was this from an interview with the FO or something Ramp? I don't know if "Castillo's important to the team and fans" equates with his being back next year. More likely they just didn't want to break up the current team while they're contending. Which I agree with. Boy, wouldn't it throw everyone for a loop if Loria went insane and upped the payroll to around 70 million next year? Pipe dream, I know... :lol
July 30, 200321 yr We COULD trade a lousy prospect to get Reggie Sanders for the bench, or get Rondell White to be on the bench too.
July 30, 200321 yr I love Luiy, I would rather keep him, and I'm glad hes going no where. But: Getting Bo Hart might have been something like getting Craig Counsell in 97, the lil rookie white guy second baseman who scored the winning run in the World Series
July 30, 200321 yr Author i got my info from Fox..... one of the guys had spoken with someone important earlier today
July 30, 200321 yr i got my info from Fox..... one of the guys had spoken with someone important earlier today Thanks! I was wondering, because I hadn't heard anything about the Cards pulling Drew from the table. I've heard just the opposite, and it sounds like several teams are very interested in him.
