Re: Cardinals sign Jason LaRue
I notice there is nothing from Ed complaining about the front office doing nothing in reaction to this particular signing.

Re: Cardinals sign Jason LaRue
It's not every team that can sign a guy who is coming off a year with a 1.92 Rc/27.
Worst RC/27 in the 21st century, 150 PA min Code:
RUNS CREATED/GAME YEAR RC/G AB 1 Brandon Inge 2001 1.47 189 2 Jorge Fabregas 2002 1.57 155 3 Donnie Sadler 2001 1.61 185 4 Enrique Wilson 2001 1.63 228 5 Terry Tiffee 2005 1.66 150 6 Raul Chavez 2004 1.71 162 7 Keith Ginter 2005 1.73 137 8 Jermaine Dye 2003 1.91 221 9 Paul Bako 2006 1.91 153 10 Jason LaRue 2007 1.92 169 |

Re: Cardinals sign Jason LaRue
Prediction time..
LaRue (if he makes the team that is) will have a big game next year vs the Reds, and 4 threads will be started about how dumb we were to let him go

Re: Cardinals sign Jason LaRue
At the very least it appears the new Cardinals FO understands the importance of defense at the catcher position.

Re: Cardinals sign Jason LaRue
Didn't he lead the world in passed balls at one point?

Re: Cardinals sign Jason LaRue
I bet if Gonzo signed with the Cardinals, he'd then be good.

Re: Cardinals sign Jason LaRue
That would be 2002 when he had twenty passed balls. A majority of those (8) while catching knuckleballer Jared Fernandez.
