I’d be surprised if he hit 150 IP this year.

Profar is road blocked at every turn for PT (same with Olt). Taveras could make an impact if the Cards get tired of Jon Jay or if Beltran finds himself on the DL. Buddy has the best shot of making a real impact this year.

The guy has more WS rings than Ernie Banks. Weird, huh? Sort of like Goldie Hawn having won as many competitive Oscars as Alfred Hitchcock, Cary Grant, John Wayne, Barbara Stanwyck, Maureen O’Hara and Peter O’Toole combined.

A Todd Van Poppell sighting. It’s been a looong time.
