Time for a 6 man rotation in St. Louis?
With a few of the St. Louis Cardinals starting pitchers battling fatigue, injury, youth and/or a protected number of innings…seems like a no-brainer to go to a 6 man rotation right? Here is why I say yes it makes perfect sense. The Cardinals had a legit 6 starters ready for big league pitching when spring…

2014 MLB All-Star Vote: Molina vs Lucroy
I was thinking about this topic after the news of the Milwaukee Brewer’s campaign to get their cather Jonathan Lucroy to the All-Star game instead of Yadier Molina.

Kaepernick Gettin’ Paid
I’ll admit, I was a little shocked to see the Colin Kaepernick deal come across the wire today. That said, he’s a hard worker, tough as nails, and he’s earned an extension of some sort. But, can he read defenses consistently enough to pass? After a little more research of the deal, a lot of people were…
