grainyduck (Buffalo): Who is the player that you think will have the biggest fall from grace (you've already used Ichiro)?
Joe Sheehan: I could see Jason Isringhausen losing a lot of his value in a hurry.
----------------------------------------------------------
Alan (Mass): You mentioned that Isringhausen is one of your 'favorites' for a dropoff this year. Who do you see stepping in for him? The Cards don't seem to have a lot of obvious closer candidates.
Joe Sheehan: I heart Chris Perez, who is your basic college closer who's just about ready already, save some control issues. Converted catcher Jason Motte could deserve a look at some point.
The Cards won't really need to worry about the closer role until 2009. They're unlikely to be relevant this year.
----------------------------------------------------------
Big Steve (St. Louis): Am I stupid for thinking the Cards could win 90 games this year if things go right?
Joe Sheehan: Not at all. I can concoct a scenario in which that happens. It's just fairly unlikely; a hell of lot of things would have to go right.
