Rumor Mill

i love it when trade talks start flying. Burhle to Cards. Zambrano to Cards. Milton Bradley to Cards. Griffey to Cubs. Helton to Yankees. Angels getting in on the a Teixeira bidding war.

it's what makes baseball that much more exciting. so few ever happen, but fans have so much to hope for...even if their team likes the farm to trade or the money to offer.

The Cards won't do anything major - they never do. We have too much coming up for us on the upside with Mulder and Carpenter rehabbing. Rolen will stay put and Jockety will play it conservative...playing the field Izzy-style: load the bases and make things exciting, and then shut things down before any action starts.
