The Cards have made a trade:
Surprising they traded someone with options for someone without options. Granillo was great in AAA last year and I was really excited when he got called up to see how he pitched. Definitely didnt look like a dominant MLB reliever but seemed usable. Dont know enough about Soriano to evaluate him, but they gave up flexibility in this deal.

So we traded a younger pitcher with better numbers for an older pitcher (by a year) with worse numbers and no options
Neither guy is going to make a difference, so whatever…but don’t understand the logic on this one

Yeah, there has to be something here. Because on paper it doesn't make sense.

Girsch probably filled the paperwork out wrong.

Keep waiting for the position player version of this trade.

Bet on stuff. Soriano is a talent who can actually stick if they find usable command.
Granillo is a trick pitch guy who didn't look like he would survive in the majors no matter the tweaks. He was a DFA Candidate, just like Soriano is.

Seems like that tells you what this year is about, as far as the FO is concerned. If it wasn't clear already.

But what stuff? According to baseball savant Granillos stuff is better except for the FB and that’s only a 1 mile diff at 94.6 vs 95.7

I keep waiting for them to sign a SP. I mean, can they get one guy who has a >50% chance of giving 5 or more quality innings each start?
