Ah, it would be nice to get Dan Haren back. But we don't have the pieces for that. Oswalt is a good short term solution and like Rick said makes an extremely formidible series rotation.
I heard the Yankees are going after Haren though. Good for them, the Yankees are my favorite team after the Cards.

Houston would be crazy to take that deal for Oswald. Ryan is a good fielder, but until he learns to throw overhand, he will be unreliable, not to mention that he hits like a girl.
Rasmus has seen his peak in the majors, it's all down hill from here. And I'll take a few well timed rbi base hits over "working deep into the count".
Miles is more reliable,i.e. has been under playoff pressure before, doesn't throw to first side-arm, doesn't allow balls to go between his legs, doesn't strike out when a hit is needed, I"ll take a steady .280 hitter over a .230-.330 hitter any day.
Who would you replace McGuire with?
Budweiser SOLD the team. If they wanted a patch on the uniform, they could of had THE WHOLE UNIFORM!

Boy it sure is good all you guys do is talk about changes ;)
I hate every last one of them and don't think they'd work. For one thing Rick, you may want to spell the player's name right.
I wouldn't mind seeing the Cards pick up Oswalt, but I don't think it will happen. He isn't going to take a massive pay cut to come to St. Louis and the Cardinals have got to start looking at holding onto money for Pujols.

It's only Rasmus's second year in the league of course he'll strike out. I don't see where you see his value dropping; he can play the field, hit for power, and he's pretty durable. You just don't make sense rick.
