If Cox can get some higher averages in AAA then definitely should look to package him in a trade. I don't think he'll amount to much as a major leaguer but even if he did his position is blocked with Freese going to be there for a while.

Brett Wallace. I remember when he was supposed to be awesome.

Rumor is Rolen may be done for the season.

Or the career. Dude's 37 years old and hitting .174. But when he was great, he was great.

Sure fire HOF'er until Alex Cintron got done with him.

I think it started with Hee Sop Choi (don't remember the cintron incident though)

Post-trade:
Rolen 13.2 WAR
Glaus 5.5 WAR

For what we paid Glaus for 2 years v. what we would have paid Rolen for 3 years:
Rolen $3.03M/WAR
Glaus $6.39M/WAR

Apologies are in order.

As if Rolen would have hit .397 with 5 homers and 21 rbis in the 2011 playoffs.

[cpebbles]

As if Rolen would have re-signed for 2011 with TLR in town.

Well, we managed to survive without Scott Rolen in 2011 and win a World Series and whatnot, so that worked out in the end.
