Izy2 and Kennedy
If I'm guessing right most people agree they should part ways with both. Not many people liked the C.Iz signing and his spring hasn't helped.
If memory serves last year Kennedy wasn't too hot(in S.T.) and they stuck it out with him as well.
We all know there are a ton of other options at 2b,Even before you explore outside options(see belly thread)
but what about SS. I haven't heard how Ryan has done in S.T. I don't see a deal where they could part with both.
If you cut A.K. youd have to play miles,ryan or hauff. Also haven't heard how Hauff is doing this spring, if he's unproven this seems unlikely. If you cut IZ2 then miles and ryan?
They could cut both keep ryan and miles for ss? and perhaps get belly?
They probably ride it out

It's a bad situation ...
Doesn't seem likely that either will be cut.
I'm in favor of cutting Izturis loose and giving the opportunity to Ryan. I see no reason to cut Kennedy at this point though.
I can think of lots of reasons

If he's hitting under .100
good idea
btw, found myself in an interesting group conversation not long ago.....one guy (who I had never met) had spent time in the Dodger's farm system
He had no clue as to my allegiance.......I asked him what player he competed against impressed him the most..........he replied "Brandon Inge" - as a player and a person
So, I naturally asked about the "person" who impressed him the least.....you guessed it - Itzuris........said he was really arrogant and stubborn.......here's hoping he has matured
enough rumors from strangers
Strauss
Here's the thing
I'd rather see Kennedy not make it out of camp, just for the simple fact that later releasing Izturis would be a much easier decision based on his contract.

another reason to keep izturis
The thought of
There are some MAJOR problems right now with the way this club has been put together this year I'm afraid, and Tony & Mo has to see this I would think. I'm thinking right now the Cards could be one of the worst 2-3 teams in the NL right now.
Cutting Miles & Izturis right now will actually make this team better off in my opinion. Will it happen? I doubt it. But I will be suprised if either one of them are still with the club by All-Star break.
middle infield
Izturis- Not very good. Banking on 2004 version
Kennedy- Not verry good. Seems to have lost it.
Miles- Not verry good. Whatever cheap as hell.
Ryan- Who knows. Not a game changer. So what if he is a bit better than IZ, doesn't mean he is a top SS in the NL.
Hoffpauir- Ok he could be a better OBP version of Miles who is cheaper than Miles. For all it's worth it's hard to say Miles is expensive. I guess Hoff has more upside only because he is younder. I don't think he is that talented.
Barden- Out of the pictuer. No a MI anyway.
Jimenez- Who cares.
Green- Will he ever do anything
Kozma- Who knows. He looks to be a ways away.
Martinez- Mixed revies, is he a SS or a 2B, and how is he offensively. Hard to say, but at least he is young. I guess right now he has the best "upside" in the system in MI. He has done some good things and he is young.
What do we have for Belliard?
Acta has to be thinking he's got his 2nd baseman. Also, they look to be a pretty good team outside of needing a couple of starters. Who would they want for Belliard, they have relief pitching. Why would they want to trade him to us?
