Huh.. it would seem that St. Louis is pretty serious this year, as they acquire Larry Walker from the Rockies for minor league pitcher Jason Burch and 2 PTBNLs. This will move Reggie Sanders to left, with Walker in right, flanking Jim Edmonds. Hell of an outfield if it can stay healthy. And this helps the Rox too, it gives Matt Holliday a chance to take over RF, and gets them out from under a terrible deal.
In Beloved M's news, the Mike Myers Era is over, as he heads to the BoSox for well.. nothing really, either a PTBNL or cash considerations. Didn't they hold him out of deals near the deadline because they would get more now? How little did other teams offer? Up to take his roster spot is Cha Baek.
Update: D'oh... I stupidly assumed that the Cards would pick up most of the contract. Nope, the Rox are still on the hook for $9 mill of the $17 million left on the deal.
