Who you got?

Should be a hell of a series. I'll go LA in 6...

Grienke and Kershaw worry me. They are both tough and they have them for games 1/2 at Busch.

Agree. One key for Cards will be winning one of the first two games at Busch with Kelly and Wacha, likely. Looks like Carpenter close to getting his stroke back.

Got to get one. It will be tough

In December of '03 GM Walt Jocketty of the Cards traded J.D. Drew and Eli Marrero to the Braves for pitchers Jason Marquis, Ray King and youngster Adam Wainwright.

I remember thinking why are they getting rid of Drew.

Should be a good series. I'll pull for LA since I went to one of their games this season.

I remember I was glad that they traded Drew.

He seemed like a jerk to me but thought he was going to be a lot better then he ended up being. Shows what I know.

Dodgers in 6.

Braves were in need of offensive help when the Drew deal was made. I think a couple of Atlanta's starting eight were headed elsewhere in free agency. Wainwright's record in minors also wasn't all that impressive. Wonder how many people in Braves organization thought he could turn into top-notch closer in '06 and then the starting pitcher he has become. In defense of Braves, Drew at times flashed brilliance with the Cards both offensively and defensively, but he was hurt quite a bit.

Here's a good story on how Cards found Matt Adams -- 23rd round draft pick out of Slippery Rock. Cards' 2009 draft class produced Shelby Miller (#1), Joe Kelly (#3), Matt Carpenter (#13), Trevor Rosenthal (#21) and Matt Adams (#23).
