Overpaid Olives
Darryle Kile and J.D. Drew are making a whole lot more than they deserve, Drew is making 15 million, at the most he deserves possibly 10,Kile deserves are 5-7, If St. Louis will cut down 5 on Drew, 3 on Kile, that would put them around 10 below 100 payroll mark, the could really help them when it comes time to resign their players.

St. Louis Cardinals $$ Troubles
HOME OF THE 2002 BDBS CHAMPIONS

The St. Louis Cardinals and Busch Stadium have just gone through a Wonderful World Series in their favor, well they better have enjoyed it, because if you look at the future, they probably won't see another one for a very long time. They currently have a payroll of 101 Million dollars, do you know how hard it is to dump payroll? J.D. Drew is currently making 15 million dollars, A year! That's a whole lot of $$ for one guy, next on the list is Darryl Kile (R.I.P.) he is making 10 million bucks a year, What is this guy thinking? Guys like Olerud,Veres and Roberto Alomar are ageing, soon this guys won't be around to pay, and they'll still be getting paid 10 million dollars a year, AFTER RETIREMENT! Now, you look at this team a little more closely, do you see a resemblence from the 97' Marlins team? Having a payroll slightly above 100 million and win a World Championship, then the next year, drop it all! Olerud is one of those guys that needs to go and find some team who is desperate,you don't need him, he can't produce that well anymore. It's also the small things that matter...They are paying a 32 year old left handed Mop-up reliever 3.5 million dollars a year, trade him somewhere that the other GM doesn't notice, You already have a great bullpen, why pay a guy 3.5 million who posted a 6 E.R.A. last year?
