Cardinals re-sign IF-OF Spiezio to two-year deal

November 16, 2006

 

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) - The St. Louis Cardinals were not about to let their most versatile player get away.

 

Scott Spiezio, a switch hitter who played five different positions last season, signed a two-year contract with the defending World Series champions on Thursday.

 

Financial terms of the deal, which includes a club option for 2009, were not disclosed.

 

In the postseason, Spiezio added six RBI, including a game-tying two-run triple in Game Two of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets.

 

"You hear the term winning player and that's what Scott is," Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty said. "Scott showed once again why he has been tabbed with such a label. Scott's leadership, versatility and production in the clutch are such strong qualities."

Two more years of looking at that stupid red thing on his face.

[wolf stansson]

Good. I like him as a utility/clubhouse guy.

[Roast]

Seriously, who told him that red thing looked good. I really want to walk up to him and rip it off. Its hideous.

[Andy]

If it's for less than Blanco's deal, I'm going to kill Hendry.

 

And I'd bet it is.

Wow. Not much less than Blanco. And considering the Yanks were after Blanco, I'd say that's just the market for bench players???

[biittner77]

Wow. Not much less than Blanco. And considering the Yanks were after Blanco, I'd say that someone in the Yankees front office needs to be fired

I still like saying the name Scott Spiezio around Giants fans.

These players the Cards are resigning have to start showing their age sometime right??

With the way things seems to go, Spiezio is going to have a Bonds like resurgance and that stupid red thing on his face will become a national fad.
