July 27 Claibs Says This Deadline Could Be Quieter Than You Think | Cards Central 365: Mondays w/ Mike
The Cardinals got the starting pitching they had been begging for all weekend against the Reds and still lost the series, and Mike Claiborne says the reason runs deeper than one bad bullpen stretch. Joe Roderick pushes him on the lineup change nobody explained, the prospect St. Louis keeps leaving in Memphis, and exactly how many Cardinals he expects to be gone by the trade deadline.
On this Mondays with Mike edition of Cards Central 365, Mike Claiborne and Joe Roderick break down why the modern bullpen cannot be built out of scrap heap arms anymore, whether Liam Doyle ends up a reliever, why Iván Herrera came out of the two spot and Jordan Walker went in, and how much the catching workload is costing Herrera at the plate. They dig into the Joshua Báez call up debate, the 40 man roster math, and what a potential lockout would mean for young players trying to develop.
Plus a full Cooperstown segment: Carlos Beltrán going into the Hall of Fame, Joe Buck receiving the Ford C. Frick Award, and Bill White receiving the Buck O'Neil Lifetime Achievement Award, which Mike calls the reason he has this job. Then Jeff Kent, the Jim Edmonds versus Andruw Jones debate, a very thin bullpen heading into Cubs week, and Mike's over under on Cardinals trades.
