Times change.

Yeah, at the start of the 2011 season Colby was hot, offensively, altho he had a couple of real stinker defensive plays, one of which I recall against the Giants that cost the Cards the game and gave Franklin his first blow save of many to come. Colby may mature some day and be a genuine MLB top player ... but I now seriously doubt it. There is something missing in his deameanor, attitude, approach, etc. that I can't precisely define.

I think Colby's matured, he just has a kinked up garden hose between his ears.

I looked at his stats and he and Pujols both have an OPS of .759 and nine homers right now. Jesus Christ, Gump made some kind of pact with the devil and AP's paying the price!

No he wasn't, that's why we dumped him.

You ever think that maybe Rasmus just isn't that good? He's got a long swing, he's a dead pull hitter, little plate discipline and not a good route runner. I think that might be more of a factor than his attitude.

"you're his biggest cheerrleader on this thread. You're a mindless idiot."

What's a cheerrleader?

I was one of the few people that supported the trade of Rasmus and what we got for it the day it happened.

I thought Rasmus had more potential than Jay. I still think he does. I just think he's too<damn stupid and lazy to ever live up to it.
