Buzz - Adam Wainwright goes down. No problem. Michael Wacha. And how about Garcia and Villanueva? Somebody knows what they are doing. Clay Buchholz arrived on the scene a decade ago.

And how did the acquire Wacha? Used the pick they got for letting Pujols walk.

Cards are the Pats of MLB.

 Yup. In the spirit of full disclosure, Garcia also was drafted by the Cards. Villaneuva has bounced around. ERA in the 4.00 range - most recently with the Cubs. With the Cards, ERA under 2.00 and all for $2,000,000 on a one year contract.

Indications are that former Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski is more likely to wind up with the Blue Jays or the Mariners than the Red Sox, Brian MacPherson of The Providence Journal writes. Still, MacPherson says that doesn’t mean that the Red Sox can’t learn from Dombrowski by looking at how he built a winner in Detroit. Dombrowski’s Detroit teams had structural flaws, but he took them from a team void of stars to a powerhouse organization with aggressive trades. Boston has worked to hang on to its young talent in recent years rather than moving it for established players, but many of those prospects have failed to live up to expectations.

Joe Torre, currently MLB’s vice president of baseball operations, told Cafardo that he wouldn’t rule out working for a team again, though it would have to be the right situation. Cafardo wonders if Torre could be a candidate to join the Red Sox‘s front office with Larry Lucchino stepping down. mlbtr

So replace 70-year-old Lucchino with 75-year-old Joe Torre.  Fucking Cafardo.
