At least the cards were finally willing to spend some money, err, i mean any money on pitching. Too bad it was on a guy already under contract! I agree it is a good idea to lock him up early but isn't this the same club that refused to give proven big league starters, i.e. Jeff Suppan, even ten million a year. I don't understand this teams thought process one bit, one second they are crying about payroll and the next second they are signing young pitchers that have won a whole whopping 15 games in there careers to mega-deals. I would love to see C.C. Sabathia with the birds on the bat across his chest but they do not have the prospects or the "payroll flexability" to pull it off. Apparently Loshe will sure up the rotation enough, and if another starter goes down we always have good old Jeff Weaver to pull back into the fold!
Go Cards!!!!!!!!!!!!(it is very hard to type sarcasticly)
