I realize that completely.
It was just emphasizing our echoed stance that Stanton can't be trusted to get hitters out as he approaches 40, and two managers last year thought his purpose at times was to offer 4 free ones to the hitter and put him on.
And we're paying over 2M per year for these services, aren't we?

That's an amazing analysis, especially coming from someone who said the following in describing Suppan's (semi) intentional walks given up in the playoffs:
"A lot of Suppan's walks have been deliberate and timely, not the result of the inability to throw strikes".
So it's intelligent for a Card to pitch around players, but it's a sign of weakness for a Red player to do so.
Double standard, favouring the Cardinals........
strange.....

I love the Stanton aquisition for 2 reasons he is a dealable asset come play off race if we are out of it and number 2 reason is every player (alomost) that FCB runs down ends up playing well for the Red's. FCB is out if he is against it mojo the guy does well (in most cases not all).
2006 Redzone mock Draftee's- 1(st) Daniel Bard(redsox), 1(st sup)( Jordan Walden (Angels), 2(nd) rd.- Zach Britton(Orioles), 3(rd) Blair Erickson(Cardinals), 3(rd) Tim Norton( Yankees),(cuz its a Tim Hortons thing

I cannot understand how anybody can defend this signing. I would have "accepted" the fact that we had signed him had it been one year 1mil or even 2 years 2 mil INSTEAD of 2 year 5MILLION!?!??!?!!?
I am so perplexed by this move right now. our payroll budget is so tight right now we cannot afford to waste money on players like this when we could combine some dollars to sign a much younger and more talented FA!

Yeah, I can only think of Phillips performing above my predictions last year.
I liked the Arroyo and Ross pickups (when very few did).
It just appears that I'm wrong a lot because I make bold predictions, so the exceptions stand out.
I'm right frighteningly often if you really check the record.
