JJ Hardy is ridiculously underpaid - And a Silver Slugger- And third in the Platinum glove voting.

I don't think Andy preferred Bartlett at all. IIRC. It was just timing. Minnesota won the bidding for that Japanese SS, I can't remember his name. Hardy was most likely toast in the Twin Cities (nice FO move! Dump JJ for the shiny new import.) so... MN HAS to trade him. I think they tried to play too much hardball with MacPhail so all of a sudden we start hearing Bartlett rumors. Tick tick tick...... Andy gets JJ for a STEAL!

Get the net!

For a really long time, I thought they were saying "Fish Dip."

Ridiculously underpaid. Sorry that Manny is unavailable. No can do. Got to extend.

I feel sufficiently confident that the young Machado would match or exceed Hardy's performance at Short.

You have to trade quality to get quality.

You wouldn't sign him to a fair to both sides long term extension?

Hardy? Or Machado? Or Machado at short stop?

The last two.

If he can't play short then odds are good he can't play third at a level which would make him extending him worth the risk. His bat is too much a question mark at this time.

I'd sign him. I'm not putting the short stop eggs in that basket yet.

Hmmm. For all of their similarities, Wieters hasn't won a Silver Slugger.

To the Cardinals. For a ridiculously good pitcher.

Why would the Cardinals give a up a TOR SP for a one year rental?
