The Cardinals would seem to have severe trouble securing Roy Oswalt. We all thought they had him at the 2010 deadline only to wind up w/ Jake Westbrook, the equivalent of a full-count foul. (Sorry, Jake. Thanks for top11 Game6.)
If this gets done that half-inning of high-pressure relief may be more important. Would Westbrook go trade instead of bullpen? I’d like to think not, especially if McClellan gets dealt. But when it comes to ballplayers and their egos, nobody really knows anything.
