Addition of Brandon Moss, traded for LHP Rob Kominsky, future pitching outlooks for the Redbirds, impact of the trade now and later, could there be another trade to come, Kaminsky was still a long way from the Majors, texters unhappy with the trade, feel like he a type of hitter the Cardinals already have, little to no improvement, 'is the juice worth the squeeze', former Indians pitcher and current analyst for the Cleveland Indians Jensen Lewis joins the program, thinks it's a great deal for both sides, Indians get a prospect to help out in the future, the Birds get a bat to help the power offense right now, righting the ship just a little bit, Moss could be a force to add to the lineup, great arm from right-field, decent to above-average fielder, blue collar guy who just loves to play the game, good clubhouse guy as well, the move to St. Louis could help revive some numbers as well, never going to be a .300 hitter however, fans still seem angry over the trade, Doug loves the trade though, Doug won't question Mozeliak, Derrick Goold from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch joins the program, thoughts on the trade, Goold likes the trade but not completely sold at this point in time, will be interesting to see how he fits into the lineup, trade would have likely happened even if Holliday hadn't reinjured his quad last night, Kaminsky still an unproven Major League pitcher, leaves room for future speculation that might not be useful at the moment, could another trade happen, who do the Cardinals really have left to trade, who would they be willing to part with, have dipped into prospect pitching well four times in the last twelve months, Moss offers versatility because he can play both first base and the outfield, Holliday's injury update could affect whether they make another trade or not, out there looking either way, Marco Gonzales and Jordan Walden health updates, Jim Callis from MLB.com joins the program, thinks that the Cardinals were ripped off by the Indians, Bradon Moss is simply a one-tool platoon-type player, not a good on-base percentage, only brings slightly improved power numbers, could have gotten a better player for Rob Kaminsky than Moss, Cardinals should have made a more informed decision and not traded Kaminsky for Moss, Cardinals didn't need to make a deal to make the playoffs, Doug thinks it's about quality of play in the playoffs, not simply to make them, below-average hitter against right-handers, Callis thinks he's a platoon player & nothing more.
