This team is so much fun to watch right now. Lawrie with the go-ahead grand slam tonight and the reaction by both Lawire and the dugout was awesome to watch. Huge smiles everywhere.
Lawrie finished 2/4, HR, 2B, 2 runs, 4 RBI. Rasmus, 1/3, BB, R, RBI. These two guys have made the team so much younger, more athletic and more talented.
I know Cardinal fans on here have downplayed the impact Rasmus could have down the road, but it's tough not to think of when the Alex Gonzalez/Yunel Escobar trade went down and Braves fans were saying good riddance and that they were happy with the trade.
Escobar is now 9th in the AL at 4.3 WAR, with a .302/.382/.440 line, and is signed through 2015 at just $5 million per season in each of 2012-2015. Would it be much of a surprise to be saying something similar about Rasmus a year from now?
