We Should Celebrate This Third Base Debacle

Ok, so now we know that Glaus is pretty much in shut down mode and will never wear a Cardinals uniform ever again, but like everything else, there is a silver lining to this situation. Some options to solve this matter could be to keep the platoon of Thurston/Barden alive and ride them out and see where that takes us or make a trade. I am a definite believer of both options, but am more of a fan of the latter. I would lie if I said that I wasnt and you would be too. The July 31st trade deadline is one of the biggest highlights of the entire baseball season because it gives you hope, it gives you something to look forward to, well thats if you are on the winning side of things. The Cardinals are buyers especially when it comes to third base. We need help! I am not saying that I dont think Thurston/Barden cant do it (how about just leaving Thurston there?), but what if we added DeRosa and put him in that slot? Jorge Cantu? Yes his defense is not great, but Sandwiching him between Ankiel and Ludwick would be a sight to see. I think we are one power bat away from being looked at as kind of contenders to the real deal. Obviously, if a trade went down, we would have to give up an OF. For instance, lets say we trade some minor league pitchers and Ankiel/Duncan/Ludwick (one of the three) for Jorge Cantu. We would put Cantu at 3B (by the way, he does play third base) move Thurston to second base and either move Skip out into the outfield or platoon Skip and Thurston at second base. Our lineup would look something like this:

2B: Skip (Thurston; Obviously, dont bat Thurston lead off if he starts at 2B)
CF: Rasmus
1B: Pujols
LF: Ludwick
RF: Duncan (Skip)
3B: Cantu
C: Yadi
SS: B. Ryan/T. Greene
SP: Carp/Wainwright/Lohse/Pineiro/Wellemeyer

Now thats one hell of a lineup. I might be a little off on adding players etc... but still, that would be an amazing lineup that could put some serious runs up on the board. Then you have to think about our chances in a best of 5 game series or even a best of 7 game series when the opposing team has to face Carp, Wainwright, Lohse and if Pineiro is on, even Wellemeyer for that matter, we are going to be THE team to beat. Now if we dont add Cantu, but trade for DeRosa, just replace Cantu with DeRosa. I am a huge Mark DeRosa fan because we have seen what he is capable of when he played for the Cubs. I think that the Cubs are falling this year due to the trade of DeRosa which was purely fueled as a salary dump. Thoughts?
