Roy Oswalt


I Just want to start off by saying that this is my first post on VEB. I also read this site everyday, 2-3 times a day and love reading the post people put up and at times respond.

Now to the story. I was cruising some web sites about trade rumors and came across hardballtalk.com, which is a sister site to profootballtalk.com. I'm sure most of you have heard about the site, very credible. One of the headlines is that the Redbirds are the front runner for ROY OSWALT! There are pros and cons and details of who we would give up are not in the article, but it has to feel great knowing that Mo is in heavy talks with the Astros for such a high profile(franchise) player and in the division no less. 2 years in a row, if this is pulled off, Mo would make a big trade to help us get to the WS. Now Oswalt being a great pitcher and D Duncan being the pitching coach God he is, would this not make us the front runner in the national league? the other good news, and i know this will be debated, is that Roy is willing to work out his contract apparently to decrease his salary so he can pitch for us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope he would be willing to take a decent cut cause we need the money for Fatty!

Here is the article http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/top-posts/the-cardinals-are-the-front-runners-for-roy-oswalt.php

Take a look and tell me what you think. Hope i didn't disappoint with my first post!
