It's exciting to think of the impact he might have. The power he's showing is a very nice surprise. PJ, Few, and Eric, thanks for the info on Henley.

He battled through it and played the entire time but with a bum leg it was hard for him to get his lower body into his swing. The kid is a long way from reaching his potential. As I said last year Cardinal fans will continue to fall in love with the way he plays the game. If you get the chance to watch him he's much like a modern day Dykstra. I only wish the best for one of my favorite kids to coach all time. Much of Henley’s lack of production at the plate last year could be attributed to a lower leg injury he faced early in the season.

Lowrie did not have a good Arizona fall league and has struggled out of the gate this season. He is 24 and what I have seen has nothing on Hoffpauir. Why is everyone in such a hurry to trade Anderson. He is barely 21 and so far this year he does look better behind the plate. Also his bat has come around. Lets see what some of our guys can do this year. As long as Mr LaRussa is running the show you will see mainly veterans in the middle infield. I say NO to the Lowrie for Anderson trade.

He's not telling him to avoid walks, just that he needs to be more aggressive with going after the strikes that he can drive.

Might need to send A Franklin or similar to even it out, but I would definitely be interested. Wonder if the Socks would consider it...

I wouldn't move him quite yet as no one is "taking" his spot away, but if McClellan ends up coming back and Garcia and PJ make a play for AAA in the near term I think Hawk could follow the Wainright/McClellan path and rebuild confidence in the pen. +1 on being interested in seeing what the Hawk would do in the bullpen.

I'm sure that had to play a factor in Henley's woes last year. He'd be an interesting guy to interview, unfortunately I only have contacts at the QC and Springfield.
