DateQuestionAnswer
2017-06-20 13:00:00 (link to chat)Hi Rob, Will Kelly ever get a chance with the Cards or do you see him being traded?
(Cal Guy from Cal)		I think they'd be a little crazy to trade him, which isn't the same thing as saying it wouldn't happen. Yeah, he's blocked through 2019. But Molina will be 38 by the time the contract runs out. Thirty-eight! He'll at least need a good deal of time off. And while it doesn't make a lot of sense to keep a guy at AAA who's raking the way Kelly is, the fact is that he's not even 23 yet. Eric Fryer will not block him for long, but Yadi could limit him to 50 or so games per year for a while. BTW, as I said, I was in Baltimore for the BP event there, and I went to two Cards-O's games. Suffice it to say that Twitter is gonna get really ugly when Molina's eligible for the Hall. I'll leave it at that. (Rob Mains)
