O'Sullivan Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:32:00 +0000 http://www.redbirddugout.com/?p=1326#comment-19 Statistically, Lohse owes a lot of his success this year to luck and/or the Cardinal defense. He’s been good, no question, and has demonstrated terrific control this season (just 1.62 BB/9). But he really doesn’t have any business in a discussion of Cy Young contenders. There’s a reason he ranks dead-even with Jeff Samardzjia in WAR.

I stopped going to games after watching the way he is treating Skip.

He was optioned in 2009, 2010, and 2011, so that’s your three right there. If they go to send him back, he has to go through waivers. He might actually pass through, but I’m sure there’d be a team willing to take a chance on him.

Komatsu has impressed me with his play in spring training. I haven’t seen much of him this season so far, he hasn’t really appeared in the games I’ve been able to see, but his numbers look decent. If we can keep Hector Luna on our roster for an entire season, I’m sure we can keep Komatsu. LOL!I expect the team to take the easy route to keep all their options available. You don’t want to remove an option until it’s absolutely proven itself to not be an option. Like they did with a bunch of guys last year like Franklin.

I believe Greene is out of options, so, having started the season with the Cards, a move to the minors may be tricky. I could be wrong about that as he may have another year due to enough days on the roster–his contract was purchased in Nov 2008. I can’t be fussed to research that atm. You’re absolutely right about Cruz, Descalso and Schu and I honestly don’t know how we could leave off a healthy Craig. Although I like to have a speedster on the bench. I think, because of the rule 5 caveat, the easy decision is Robinson and Carpenter getting sent to Memphis.
