We still hear people speculate about Chris Carpenter's availability at the deadline in the unlikely event the Cardinals are out of all forms of contention. But that's not what most clubs expect to happen. "If you look at the makeup of their club, why would they not pick up his [$15 million] option, unless he's hurt?" wondered one NL executive. "And if he's hurt, why would you want [to trade for] him?" The one dissenting vote came from an AL exec who thinks the Cardinals will need to clear money to sign that Albert Pujols guy.
