Other teams say the Cardinals haven't made any calls yet about dealing for a shortstop. Apparently waiting on a second opinion on Jhonny Peralta's thumb. One exec's take: "If they go outside, I think Erick Aybar has to be at the top of their list. Of the guys out there, he's far and away the best player." The Braves are planning on Aybar as their shortstop, but another exec says: "If it's the right deal, they'll trade anyone but Freddie Freeman."
