Shuffling the Deck:The Cardinals gear up for the stretch run with a curious three-way trade, sending Ryan Ludwick to the Padres and receiving Jake Westbrook from the Indians in return. Ludwick's .288 TAv ranked fourth on the team, and while Jon Jay has been wielding a hot bat, his .366/.415/.553 performance is unsustainable. As for Westbrook, his .450 SNWP is basically even with what the Cards have gotten from Brad Penny, Jeff Suppan and Kyle Lohse, though there's no telling how much better the groundballer might be given the black-arts tutelage of Dave Duncan (see Jeff Weaver, or Suppan in both St. Louis stints). Meanwhile, the team learns that David Freese is done for the year at a time when Felipe Lopez's charms are starting to wear off; he's hitting just .262/.330/.366 since June 1, compared to .278/.363/.456 prior.
