Looks like the Cards have put Edmonds and Looper on the DL. Who didnt see Looper going to the DL eventually since hes never been a starter. Cards call up Cates, and the almighty Skip Shumaker.

How long now until the Cards sign Tomo and Duncan turns him into Cy Ohka?

 

Also Finley was granted his release from the Rockies today. So if Edmonds is down for any length of time, they might go in that direction. Skip Shumaker really isnt the answer to any ?.

Unless the question is who is a better baseball player than present day Steve Finley.

Lately, I keep hearing about the Cardinals' magical power turning scrubs into All-Stars but let's face it, this year is different. The lack of talent has finally caught up to them IMO.

Surprised me that they didn't call up Ankiel.

 

He is crushing Triple A pitching.

 

Hes out of options though, so after they call him up hes there to stay or they risk losing him. He also seems like an all or nothing guy at the plate from the last time I seen his stats.

He has no idea how to take a walk. His OBP is terrible, but he's putting up a .932 OPS on the year. He's already got 19 homers. I'm sure he could definitely put up better numbers than Skip Schumaker.

Maybe he'd be a good player to use off the bench when you need a homer, a la G. Hill.

Almost 40 years and counting of Cub misery. I can see it coming from a mile away now. Its the old story of the train, the tunnel, and the light at the end of it.
