Gordo Live Nov. 19, 2007

jrocke217: hey gordo
is there any word on any catchers the cardinals may be looking at as a back up to yadier molina? we all know bryan anderson is not ready just yet even if he stays in the cardinals system. what about say mike lieberthal who was cut loose by the dodgers?thanks

Jeff Gordon: I see the Cards stressing economy and defense with this signing, given all the other needs. None of the options are all that exciting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
jrocke217: who do you expect the cardinals to outright off the 40 man roster in the coming days, to the rule 5 draft, in order to protect some players? i hear john rodriguez has been given his notice. and who do you expect to see be put on the 40 man roster to protect?

Jeff Gordon: Cody Haerther got waived, due to all his injury woes. Taguchi was turned loose, for now. To be honest, most of those Memphis vets are pretty disposable. There was some complaining at the great Future Redbirds site about Brian Falkenborg and Kelvin Jimenez still being on the list . . .

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
jrocke217: do you think the cardinals will pick up any of their minor league free agents this winter or let them walk?(rico washington, mike smith, juan richardson, chris narveson, etc...)

Jeff Gordon: Narveson went from the front burner to off the stove, again. With the Cards system producing a lot of pitchers and position players in a hurry, you can expect a lot of turnover. Much of that Springfield team moves up a notch.
