Waiting in the Wings
« The Gabe White era begins | Main | Old News »I think I originally went to the Memphis Redbirds stat page to see how Scott Seabol was doing when Rolen went down (so for thos of you that know your calendars, that means I've been putting this post off for a while), but what I found was a little unexpected. Check out what Adam Wainwright and Anthony Reyes have been up to at the AAA level:
Name W L ERA GS CG IP H R ER HR BB SO A Wainwright 4 1 1.82 8 0 54.1 49 12 11 2 6 45 A Reyes 4 1 2.91 7 1 46.1 34 16 15 5 9 42
Those numbers look great, especially the K/BB ratios. But the most interesting thing that comes to mind when I look at those stats is that considering Matty Mo is the only starter not signed through '06, I have a feeling he's going to be leaving via free agency this off-season. Or perhaps, one of our current starters could become trade bait to bring in a young OF to replace either Walker or Sanders, both of whom have contracts ending this year.

No pitching depth my behind.

Posted by: czhorse at May 18, 2005 05:55 PMThe Cardinals have a $4 million option with a $1 million buyout for 2006. In other words retaining Suppan would cost $3 million, which sounds like a good idea right now.
