<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Wainwright was sent to the Cardinals along with
pitchers </span>Jason Marquis<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> and </span>Ray King<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">
in a trade that sent outfielder </span>J. D.
Drew<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> and </span>utility man<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> </span>Eli
Marrero<span style="font-family: Tahoma;"> to the </span>Atlanta Braves<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">."</span><br style="font-family: Tahoma;"><br style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Sigh.</span>

and every day I remembered, I reminded him of that trade.

Wainwright is fantastic.

Just think what our rotation would look like today if we hadn't traded Haren for Mulder. I didn't like the trade to begin with and hate it even more now.

I was big fan of Mulder and thought the Cards could use a solid lefty at the time.... If I'd have known that he was going to be hurt for his entire STL career.. then yea, I would've hated it...

What if Rick Ankiel didn't forget how to pitch? That guy was unbelievable as a 20 year old rookie in 2000.... Imagine if he would've progressed and developed.... He was a mid-90's lefty with a GREAT breaking ball.
