You Can Have Him

I love the sound of the Detroit bandwagon driving off a cliff.

But, go Freddy A. Garcia, looks like he'll be better than Willis.

I don't understand him. Edgar does great in the NL. He did great while with the Braves than goes back to the AL and can't repeat. I wished the Braves would of kept him but Escobar showed he is a Major League player.

Someone will pick him up, but not for anywhere near what he was making during his last contract. I was hoping the Cardinals would be able to resign him when he was still in St. Louis, but he was overrated at the time, and demanded too much money. If a team can pick him up for a reasonable type of contract (they should be able to now) then he will be a good signing.

I don't think Renteria was overrated when in St. Louis. He was one of the best SS in the game at the time.

We would've make you a deal. I'll take Renteria, but someone has to eat Luis Castillo and HIS contract.

I agree! He was known as one of the most underrated players in the game while he was in St. Louis. Something happened though during his last season in St. Louis. People started to notice him. Then when free agency hit, he was offered $10Mil per year by Boston. That's what I mean by being overrated. Renteria was a very good player, and I was hoping he would stay in St. Louis, but not for that price. It was too much then, and is way too much now. As good as Renteria was as a Cardinal, he wasn't worth $10Mil a year.
