Nick: Who do you see the Cardinals trading at or before the trade deadline On July 31st? I would think Jason Isringhausen would be a prime candidate. He's not getting much work, he's free agent eligible at the end of the year, and when he has seen action, he has been good. If so, what teams are in need of a closer that are in the hunt?
Joe Strauss: Funny, Isringhausen was considered garbage on many chat boards and talk shows a year ago. You're right. Healthy, he has value. I can see Cleveland and Atlanta (and the Cubs!) having serious interest in Isringhausen. His contract includes an option for 2008. He also has blanket no-trade protection
