Mulder's salary demands are likely to be so far out-of-line with his actual quality and health that I'm sure the Cardinals are smart enough not to make that move. Considering Zito's contract, Mulder is likely to want at least half of that. If the Cards wouldn't re-sign Jeff Suppan at that money, I suspect that Mulder is out of the question.
On the other hand, the D-Backs seem to be willing to take a shot with every injured knee, hip, wrist and bicep. Maybe their experience with Luis Gonzalez have made them think they have something special in the doctor's office.
