Miguel probably made a smart decision going to the Cardinals, with Edmonds getting hurt more often and So Taguchi being 37 yrs old, he might have more ability to play in the big leagues with the Cards, he eventually would have been nice for us to have as 4th/5th outfielder who could play all outfield positions pretty good in about 2 yrs with us, so he probably made the right choice for him, his agent did him well with what he had to work with, he could be like Orlando Palmeiro with a little more thump in his bat.
