    Lars has a sub .700 OPS his last 800 at bats and is a guy who always seems to be fighting some kind of injury

    Don't get me wrong, I'd take him on the team, but i'm not giving up Blu for him and certainly not Blu + Ullola

    Im not super high on Cole but would't even give him only with his control straight up for Nootbaar. He is lousy defender and was promising bat still couple of years ago mostly because of walking some keeping OPS decent. Now he is mid as they come. This season stats are only 30AB, 2hr, 5rbi.

    Has seen lot of cardinals games with my Marmol hate watch and Nootbaar you pick up in like 5 rule draft, not pay for.

    Nootbar had some kind of foot ailment that he had offseason surgery to correct and he's working his way back. I would trade Blubaugh for Nootbar because I believe Nootbar will make it back to where he was, maybe even better.

    I might for just Blubaugh, but not giving up on Ullola yet. Of course, they may have a higher target in mind. Nootbar is mediocre.

    Now's not the time to give up potential for a certified per-owned. We've bargain basement hunted the past few years and hasn't paid off and now need to straight up buy for exceptional talent or start to sell off what we have.
