December 15, 200718 yr David Freese is a good pick up for the Cardinals. May be surprising that the front office traded Edmonds for one player that is a minor leaguer, but this guy, IMO, is ready to play. David Freese ML Stats
December 15, 200718 yr This one kind of surprised me to. Didn't see him going for just 1 minor leaguer.
December 15, 200718 yr Wasn't St. Louis very, very fond of Jim Edmonds? I always thought of him as like the face of the franchise. Either way this probably just a step to getting rid of Scott Rolen.
December 15, 200718 yr Jim Edmonds is fan favorite in St. Louis. I believe he was traded to get something for him because he has said that he'll probably retire after next season. Also I think this was done in case things don't work out with Scott Rolen.
December 15, 200718 yr May be surprising that the front office traded Edmonds for one player that is a minor leaguer, [/url] It is just for one player but it does free up cash for them to possible spend on pitching plus it opens up an opprotunity for Rasmus at the ML level.
December 15, 200718 yr Wasn't St. Louis very, very fond of Jim Edmonds? I always thought of him as like the face of the franchise. St. Louis fans love Edmonds. Edmonds told the front office he would waive his no trade clause if they could get him to Southern California.
December 15, 200718 yr St Louis just wont spend the money to win anymore Anymore? they never have been a big spender. They have always been towards the middle when it comes to salaries.
December 15, 200718 yr Seemed like they spent more money when they were own by Busch, maybe I dont know what I'm talking about but whatever
December 15, 200718 yr Seemed like they spent more money when they were own by Busch, maybe I dont know what I'm talking about but whatever They weren't much of a spending team when they were own by Anheuser Busch either.
