Dave W (Atlanta, GA): Christina, am I crazy to think that Felipe Lopez can consolidate his Cardinals' gains plus the fact that he only got a 1-year deal and put together a big season? I'm seeing an Alex Mogilny-esque salary drive here! Thanks as always!!
Christina Kahrl: I think we're definitely in Patsy Cline territory in getting too worked up over F-Lop, but that's me. Even though I think I touched on how I think he's got a reasonable shot at exploiting a move to the Banky Bank Bandbox in Phoenix because he was able to enjoy outsized benefits bopping in the Great American (Batting Practice) Ballpark, I think we need to keep from getting irrationally exuberant on the subject.

jbuofm (peoria): Do the Cardinals have any tasty in-house options now that they've released Kennedy?
Christina Kahrl: Shame on me for filing my column just before starting the chat, because I touch on this a bit. Not time like the present for Jarrett Hoffpauir, but I also like the idea of making a modest, incentived-driven offer on Mark Grudzielanek on a one-year deal.

John (Fiji): Hi Christina, what is your initial reaction to Braden Looper going to Milwaukee?
Christina Kahrl: Jeff Suppan 2.0 should be able to give them a moderate number of winnable ballgames. It won't be enough to put them in better shape for the NL Wild Card.

stl fan (st louis): how about a depth trade...craig/freese for eric patterson? isnt he a solid mlb ready 2b?
Christina Kahrl: The A's might be one of the only organizations willing to take Patterson seriously as a second baseman, but obviously he'd help the Cardinals offense if they decided to share that article of faith.
