What about Juan Encarnacion??

Rumors he may be available. To me, he is the PERFECT RH bench bat that this team needs. Hitting almost .300, and with good power.

We're tied for first in the majors in Hr's, I don't think thats a stat melvin is putting a premium on.

i think he would be a horrible fit, there is already a log-jam in the outfield, and no one will take a Mench or Jenks for Encarnacion, so it doesn't pay.

I've spent the last week in StLouis, listening to the talk shows. Fans are calling in, elated that Encarnacion is getting hot at the trade deadline. They are hoping some GM looks at the stats and falls for the "fraud" as one caller called him. He is not loved by Cards fans at all. The are just begging for the Cards to trade him. Where's Redbird Ray been? Maybe he can shed some light here.

Juan Encarnacion is just a pretty bad baseball player. Always has been, and always will be.
