That's an amazing statement." |

Re: Cardinals/Brewers discussing a Rolen trade
Trading for Rolen is insanity at its best

Re: Cardinals/Brewers discussing a Rolen trade
I hear Kevin Mench maybe also included to sweeten the deal. If that is the case I see the Cards winning that deal.

Re: Cardinals/Brewers discussing a Rolen trade
I would suggest that if the Brewers are willing to take all of Rolen's salary,they shouldn't have to give up anything. In fact, that would still be agreat deal for the Cards.
Would anyone give Rolen a 3 year deal for $36M if he was a FA? I don't think so. |

Re: Cardinals/Brewers discussing a Rolen trade
Doesn't Rolen have 10 & 5 rights?

I can't believe the Brewers are even considering this unless the Cards are gonna pick up a substantial amount of his contract just to get rid of him.

Re: Cardinals/Brewers discussing a Rolen trade
It's amazing what a couple of years can do to the perception of a player! Rolen is a picture perfect example (along with Junior) of the problems with extreme LTCs.

Re: Cardinals/Brewers discussing a Rolen trade
If the Brew Crew gets him on the cheap and cards pay some of his contract then yes he would be a good "gamble" for the Brewers. Course they can avoid the gamble and take incredibly talented EE for Capuano .
