1. Izzy
2. Pujols
3. 4/22 Chicago - I was at that game it was crazy fun.
4. Ryan
5. Jocketty firing-it still shocks me that a year after winning the World Series the GM gets canned.
6. VEB
7. Franklin! I truly didn’t expect anything and until he got tired the last month of the season he was possibly the best set up guy in NL.
8. Kip Wells! I say Kip only because I drank the kool-aid and truly believed he was going to be unbelievable, especially after his great spring training. Then the truth was revealed he has possibly the worst mound presence I’ve ever seen. He just doesn’t look like he cares or has any confidence. He needs a psychologist not a pitching coach.
9. I’m going to go with Franklin again over Springer in a close one for me.
10. Rasmus

1 Wagonmaker
2 Albert
3 I don’t know the date but the game against san diego on espn where we scored 10 runs in the fifth. The last nail in David Wells’ coffin.
4 Ryan
5 I didnt expect anything out of Franklin.
6 FRB with VEB in a close second. The work that all of you guys put into this, including AZ and Larry, is extremely appreciated.
7 Franklin
8 Kennedy with wells close behind. I’m ashamed to say that i thought Wells would win 10+ games for us.
9 Franklin again
10 The guy that plays the outfield. I heard he is really young and pretty good. I think his name is COLBY RASMUS?

On a completely different note, RotoWorld mentions as an aside that the Cardinals didn’t want to offer Eckstein arbitration because they didn’t want to pay for the extra supplemental pick. Um, isn’t that against everything that we are trying to do with our farm?
I hope that it is simply a cheap shot from RotoWorld, but it made me lift my eyebrows a bit.
