Cardinals manager Tony La Russa is weary of discussing outfielder Colby Rasmus' past trade request and what is perceived as a rough relationship between the two. However, La Russa was emphatic on whether one of them would have to go next year. "It's one of the most incorrect evaluations and analyses that I can ever remember. To say that in 2011, either I'm going to be gone or he's going to be gone ... our relationship is nowhere near that," said La Russa. "I think that almost every quote I've made about him has been positive and if you point out something he's doing wrong, it has to do with experience and normal development. "I talk to him every day. We've had a lot of great conversations. "But there's no free lunch. Stuff is going to fly. If you don't like it, stay home and do something else for a living. In his case, what I told him is that he's a highly talented player. He's going to get more attention and he's not under the radar screen. "I said, 'What would you rather do, be a guy with no talent and be under the radar screen, or have talent and have a chance to be a real impact guy?.' "
