I find this talk about Kelenic comical. He's a 19 year old kid who hit .253 at Kingsport and struck out once a game and people are talking like he's the second coming. Get real people. When you have a chance to get the best reliever in the game who's only 24 and give up Kelenic in the deal, you MAKE that deal. Stop with the nonsense.

Jeesh, right after the Jets debacle I was talking about Brian Cole for some strange reason...
So sad, RIP

Yeah, and if you're using the "He's 19" logic, then I guess the best report a scout could give us is:
"I have no idea. He's a teenager. He may go through 5 arm surgeries between now and his 30th birthday. He may add a pitch. He may lose a pitch. He may put on 30 lbs and add velocity. He may put on 50 lbs and eat his way out of the league. I literally have no idea what he is going to be."
But thats not what these guys are paid to do, nor what we are looking for them to do, right?

Really awful. I'm kind of in shock.

Absolutely crushed over here.. I just talked to him and his girlfriend a few days ago.. Yep, I'm also the one that does the Facebook page.. had his approval, he loved it. All that stuff..
But most of all the world just lost two wonderful human beings.

My condolences to his family, and to the Cardinal nation. One of my favorite franchises. Hate this news.

It's particularly sad that things ended on such a sour note.
