End of an era

Incase you were under a rock this weekend I’ll let you in on a little secret, The Cardinals traded away Scott Rolen. This is the third high profile player the Cardinals have parted ways with, in one way or another, this off season.

Rolen Joins fellow left side infielder David Eckstein in Toronto. Eckstein left via free agency, however he was not offered an option from the redbirds. Jimmy Edmonds was dealt to San Diego for minor league third baseman and Lafayette High School graduate, David Freese.

Troy Glaus is the Blue Jays half of the Rolen trade.

In 2004 the Cardinals won the NL Championship and had three players in the running for MVP. Pujols, Edmonds, and Rolen were those three players. The were great while playing for us and they will be missed.

Hopefully John Mozeliak won’t trade Albert this week.

Are these bad trades? Only time will tell, but I am anxious to find out.

I’m not saying that the guy that got my job as the Cardinals GM is doing a bad job; I’m just sayin'.
