There is hope VB. Here is my plan
San Diego, one of the worst offensive teams in recent history, had
a .187 hitter and a .214 hitter drive in four runs a piece last night.
Maybe we can trade Kelly and Maness to an upcoming opponent
and get our offense turned around.

If the velocity is back, he'll be a good addition. If not, it could be ugly.
He is the type of pitcher that fits our team.

Samardzija and Lester get moved. Colon, Lee, and Hamels rumored to get moved. Birds get Masterson...*Sigh* Why do I feel like this is 2010 all over again? That said, Birds offense has "produced" 3, 4, 3, 2, 0, 6, 6, 1, 1, and 1 runs in games since the ASB. Cy Young, Warren Spahn and Sandy Koufax would have trouble posting consistent W's with that garbage.
Yeah pitching hasn't really been the problem. Only 2 teams have given up fewer runs in the NL. But only 1 team has scored fewer runs. Was hoping AJ might bring a spark. Maybe he will we'll have to wait and see. As bad as it's been they're still only 2.5 out. That's easily doable so it's not over yet. There's still hope that Wacha will be back in Sep. And maybe Yadi too. All it will take is AC getting hot to turn it around. Hard to believe he'll stink it up for an entire year.
The walks are a big concern.
They brought in Masterson to be a #4 who gets 6+ innings a game, not to replace Wacha. Cards SP are averaging fewer innings per start than any other NL team lately. That's with Waino being Waino. For us, finding a Suppan, a Lohse, or a Peralta who can eat some innings has real value. Hopefully he can do that.

I can't imagine the Birds taking on Lee's or Hamels's contracts. Phils would have to pay a ton to move Lee given that terrible 2016 option. I don't see the Cards taking on Hamels through 2018 - they like to keep the payroll more flexible than that.
