"Lessons Have Been Learned" As Cards Decline Mark Mulder's 2009 Option
What you get for dealing with Billy Beane, I suppose. (The Cards will buy out Mulder's 2009 option for $1.5M.) On the other hand, recall that not everything has gone well for Beane, either. In particular, the haul in the Tim Hudson trade hasn't been especially effective, as
- Juan Cruz became Brad Halsey (94.1 IP, 4.67 ERA, 95 ERA+)
- Dan Meyer has yet to show he belongs on a major league roster (54 ERA+ in 2007 after limited August/September exposure as both a spot starter and reliever)
- 28-year-old Charles Thomas, who just got done with his third season at AAA and has yet to show any power, a big drawback for a corner outfielder.

Comments:
whatever Beane has done in the past positive or negative from henceforth will be irrelevant. imo he'll be judged by what's he's done int he past year.
What he'd do? Trade Harden, Blanton, Swisher to start, and got like, twenty prospects in return, and they also signed that kid from DR.
Seems like he's doubled down on his reputation.
