Most teams are looking to get better, whether immediately or at some point in the future and to do that, sometimes tough choices have to be made.

If you are the type to get invested in the players as people, this is especially tough for you.

So with that in mind DannyVietti posed a question on Twitter that I thought you all might like to consider.

When John Mozeliak traded Allen Craig and Joe Kelly for John Lackey that one, even though it worked out wonderfully for the Cardinals, stung a bit at the time.

The Cardinals didnt seem to get much in return and lost a player that after overcoming some unfortunate injuries really looked to be making an impact.

Thinking back a bit further to a trade that did not go in the Cardinals favor I can recall the Danny Haren for Mark Mulder deal.

The version of the Cardinals I remember the best have no made too many big trades the biggest trade in recent memory was when the Cardinals acquired Paul Goldschmidt for some highly-ranked prospects.

And of course TheTradeWorked when the team traded away Colby Rasmus for Edwin Jackson, relievers Octavio Dotel and Marc Rzepczynski, and outfielder Corey Patterson.

Theyve let players go in free agency or didnt make big enough moves for free agent players, but trading them away that just isnt something that happens a lot.

They were quick and merciless, and made an 10-4 series clincher a snoozer by the time there were two outs in the top of the second.

Tim Anderson greeted Tomlin by ripping the first pitch of the game, a high sinker, off the gate above the wall in left.

Despite a pair of ringing singles from expectant father Melky Cabrera and Avisail Garcia, Tomlin was almost out of the inning until Matt Davidson torched an outer-half fastball 401 feet to the right field power alley to put the Sox up 4-0.

Yolmer Sanchez ripped a double, and scored when Omar Narvaez served a hanging curve into left to make it a five-run first.
