Rolen will still only be 34 next year. If he can rebound to the player he was in 2006 (126 OPS+ with good defense) then he can be a decent value. I'm not optimistic, but until we see how the final two years of Rolen's contract play out, I don't think you can say that the Cardinals won the trade.
Of course if he totally tanks, then the Cardinals would have won big time--by even more than the difference in 2008 between Glaus and Rolen.
Nope.
On July 1st, Rolen was hitting .288/.377/.474 in the AL with awesome defense and Glaus was hitting .265/.368/.453 in the NL with mediocre defense.
Since then. . .
Rolen's shoulder is such a mess, and it seems to degenerate, that I'd be careful with any results over a month or two.
"Only" 34? Many players decline past the replacement line by that age, and Rolen's been dogmeat 2 of the past 3 years. IOW I certainly wouldn't bet on it.
Not only that but the way he plays them, throwing out Ryan for a month before TJ and bringing him back a month early, overusing McGowan and Marcum during stretch runs in seasons when they won't make it, and then watching their arms blow out. etc. Heck Marcum has seen Dr. James Andrews this season for his elbow already, and even though the team clearly won't make the playoffs, he's being trotted out there, just putting more mileage on his arm.
But at least he loves baseball.
