Already on DL?

stlcardinals.com report that Troy Glaus had rotator cuff surgery and will be in a 12 week recovery putting him in the line up at about mid-April.

Who is David, Brett and Allen?


If you don't know who they are Troy Glaus definitely does! Troy Glaus is in the last year of his contract, and the Cardinals may be ready to let him go if any of their third-base prospects shows signs of being ready. The prospects are in the upper levels of the Minor Leagues: David Freese, Brett Wallace and Allen Craig. They're all pushing hard, and it's extremely difficult to envision a 2010 Cardinals club that doesn't include at least one of them. That's especially true if it's the difference between, say, Wallace at the Major League minimum and Glaus at eight figures per year. That's not to say Glaus is a lost cause. His 27 HRs and 99 RBIs last year are good stats for anyone. He has his best batting average in four years and is third among his teammates in HRs, BRIs, TBs and second in walks.
Freese, who plays for AAA Memphis, has 26 HRs and 91 BRIs with a .306 avg. How well will he do in the BIGS? Only time will tell.
I just hope that this year is the year we dominate the NL Central again and the Post Season will have the Cards playing their hearts out.
All we have to do now is wait for OPENING DAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!
TCF out.

Happy New Year!!!!

Man! I just realized that I haven't posted in a very long time. My BFF the Lone Met Fan called tonight and needed help with his blog so I decided to dust mine off. After the horrible season last year, I have vowed to not bet on the season. Two pizzas in a row sucks.

I am excited about the new Fantasy year ahead too. Just bought my first fantasy magazine this week. Going to use ESPN again and invite only the real die-hards. Not all the dodes I got from last year. Too much griping. Anyway, I'm going to reuse the Bluesville Spit Fiddlers as my mascot.

Congradulations to Albert Pujols for another NL MVP!!!!!

Let's Go Cardinals, Let's GO
