Those who write about St. Louis Cardinals centerfielder Colby Rasmus’ use of outside hitting instruction with a sense of astonishment either have blinders on or don’t know much about baseball history.

Experts Look Back At Best NL Deals

ST. LOUIS CARDINALS
Trade: RHP Adam Wainwright, RHP Jason Marquis and LHP Ray King from Atlanta for OF J.D. Drew and IF Eli Marrero, Dec. 13, 2003.
Free Agent: RHP Chris Carpenter, Dec. 2, 2003.

The Cardinals are held back from claiming one of baseball's best trades based on the timeframe established for this report, having acquired Hall of Fame outfielder Lou Brock from the Cubs in 1964 in what's regarded as one of the most lopsided deals ever. But picking up a young Cy Young-caliber pitcher along with two pieces of their recent championship past makes this deal stand up on its own just fine. And the Carpenter signing while he was still recovering from reconstructive surgery was nothing short of prescient, setting up a Cy Young season and another that was very close.
