Probably can make more money in Japan. Poor AZ, his favorite player ever won't even be playing on the same continent next year.

I honestly don't know how the rules for this sort of transaction work, whether it's a DFA situation where he passes through waivers or a trade situation that the commissioner's office has veto authority over, but it sounds like he's signed for next season already.

If you aren't going to answer the question, maybe you should post a response? By the way, I read those BP chats and would say that the non-answers bug me as well.

The cost is a AAA rotation spot. From my perspective, I would go with a 4 man rotations and a piggy back of Lewis and Brazelton in the 5 spot? How could it hurt? We lose our lowest MRP slot while adding a potential filler type SP? Again, not sure why you wouldn't do that? Great move - I would love to pick up Colby Lewis. The cost is a AAA rotation spot.

He may have touched it a couple of times but not as much as that site suggests. The website with the pitch speeds also looks to say Anthony Reyes touched 94-95 quite a few times last year.

I also recalled thinking that perhaps she'd had web interactions with Azru in the past that left her, shall we say, annoyed.

He specifically said a bunch of times that other teams weren't inquiring about our guys besides Rasmus, Anderson, and Perez. I think Bernie was saying value as other teams see our minor league guys.

What do you guys think of Bernie M's opinion that the only valuable pieces in our system are Anderson, Rasmus, and Perez? He sorta took a shot at the blogger community for what he sees as overvaluing our prospects in this thread -> http://www.stltoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=507173&postdays=0&postorder=asc&&start=16 at Bernie's Pressbox. Do we overvalue guys like Garcia, Herron, Mortenson, Ottavino, Maiques, etc..? Are they nothing more than future relievers and utility men like we have now? After visiting this site for several months now I was under the impression that our farm was getting better and we were gonna be getting some good home grown talent up within the next few years, but his comments kind of got me down since I assume he knows what he is talking about.
