I think choosing Corey Wimberly would be the best choice in the rule 5 draft for the club.He is a steal, plays alot like Ozzie and steals bases in his sleep.Besides we would love to see another Jacksonville native running around the bases in a Cards uniform just like Vince Coleman.Corey Wimberly is the real deal he has the heart of a tiger, and the speed of a Jaguar!!!!!!

Here are a couple of suggestions to get younger and better. Trade Kennedy, Duncan, Anderson & Ottanvino or similar package to the Giants for Sanchez & Velez. You get a good young pitcher and second baseman plus they are controlled for a number of years.

Trade Schumacher to Toronto for one of their lefties. Then spend the last 15 million on Fuentes for 2 years plus a vesting year!

Parisi also will require TJ this offseason.

I think you mean Jaime Garcia is just coming off Tommy John or did I miss something about Parisi?

You forgot that lefty out of the Twins system. I think Mullins is his last name. 6′6″ with great numbers for a LOOGY.

Regarding the List of Cardinals available –

If one or more of those are on the list of players
offered to the Padres as the PTBN for Khalil Greene,
then what happens?

Aren’t those PTBN players NOT available for the Rule 5?
That’s my understanding.
But I’ve been wrong before!

It doesn’t seem like we are going to have a new second baseman next year anyways. We’ve been hearing for a while that Kennedy might stay, now after his comments in the new article in the post it is almost certain he will be back.

@ PJ–No power hitting middle infielders in this rule 5. The middle infielders are more of your defense first, slap and dash types. The ones I know of are Daniel Mayora, Justin Sellers, Hainley Statia, Corey Wimberly and Will Rhymes. None are probably a whole lot better than what we have now.

I think we would be well served to take a chance on one of these guys. Any 2B to the tune of Uggla in this year’s rule 5?
