Hmm interesting.
Imagine if he DOES start using his base in his swing… Ho.ly. crap!

Cards announce said that Bagwell
mentioned how Wallace uses only his arms, and not those huge legs, in his swing. He has managed to get away with it in the Minors, but he won’t get away with it in the Bigs. So… with the power he already has. Imagine… more
I am sure the Walrus can play RF...
to be honest,
he doesnt have a lot of power at the moment. if bagwell is right, then he can tap into that potential of his.

The Cardinals need to hire a baserunning coach. Hello, Larry Walker.
I'm still tripping on WB's delivery
he stands so straight up and down, and it looks like he has a real short delivery. I can believe that he’s a little iffy on the stopwatch, he’s very deliberate. But he ends up in really good fielding position. Would like to read painguy’s take on it.
I think Al’s right (arrgh), seems like he occasionally throws a little more sidearm when he wants a strikeout.
In your defense
Al being right about pitching is more tolerable than him being right about anything else, so I can let this one slide haha
he actually kinda reminds me of kevin gregg

I really dont understand the double switch...
just pinch hit for Motte, leave a superior defender in Rasmus in CF and Jay in RF…And if the lineup gets back to the 5th spot in the 8th, you have your third best hitter there and not your effing RP…
Winn is hitting less than .240 and does not have the speed or mobility of Rasmus. Thanks, TLR.
