It would be good to give him a "test run" at some point this season, and we most likely will see him in September. It really makes sense to lock up your core players before they hit their prime. It's a risk, sure, but if you diversify that risk it's less likely to cost you.Kujohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06242230388536945498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30415733.post-92114858627751533722008-05-13T16:47:00.000-05:002008-05-13T16:47:00.000-05:00Great post! I like how the Cardinals handled the contracts of Wainwright and Molina. I think it's evident that this aspect of the game has changed, and locking up key parts of the team for long term savings is the way to go.<BR/><BR/>As far as Colby Rasmus goes, it would be nice if he could get a late season call-up and hit the ground running, kind of like what Jacoby Elsbury did last year. Then we'll know if he's due the Langoria or Sizemore treatment.Mikehttp://mikeonthecards.comnoreply@blogger.com
