St. Louis Cardinals Add Ruben Tejada to Shortstop Mix
The Cardinals added some middle infield depth early on Friday by signing free-agent shortstop Ruben Tejada to a one year 1.5 million dollar contract. Tejada, who is 26 years old, was placed on waivers by the New York Mets earlier last week. Prior to being waived by the Mets, Tejada was scheduled to make $3 […]
A Rivalry Renewed: Cards and Cubs Set to Do Battle in Playoffs
The start of October, all the yearly telltale signs that fall has begun are everywhere: the days are shorter and nights cooler, the high school down the street is having their homecoming bonfire, and the St. Louis Cardinals are preparing for the playoffs. Well, the later may not happen every year, but as the Cards […]
On Deck: The Cardinals So Far
Oh, hey there! Been a while, eh? Yeah, I still write for ReviewStl. You’re stuck with me for a while longer, I suppose. Don’t worry, I’ll be trying to write a little bit more than the zero I’ve done recently. But you don’t want to listen to my ramblings, eh? Me neither. You want to […]
MLB Post Season: St. Louis Cardinals Gear Up For Another Red October
The St. Louis Cardinals wrapped up their second straight National League Central title Sunday afternoon while finishing off warm-ups. After failing to close the door Saturday night, the division championship came down to the last day of the season, and for perhaps the first time ever, had St. Louis fans rooting for Johnny Cueto and […]
2014 St. Louis Cardinals Preview – Shortstop
Note: this is an ongoing series previewing the Cardinals. You can find catchers here, first base here, second base here, and third base here. I rooted hard for Peter Kozma. I really did. The Cardinals’ first-round pick in 2007, Kozma escalated through the system based mostly on the merits of his glove, which I’ll admit was terrific last […]
2014 St. Louis Cardinals Preview – Third Base
Note: this is an ongoing series previewing the Cardinals. You can find catchers here, first base here, and second base here. Well, the hometown hero is gone. After putting on a post-season performance that’ll be remembered in St. Louis likely for the rest of its existence, David Freese had a terrific 2012 season, posting a […]
2014 St. Louis Cardinals Preview – Second Base
St. Louis has had a bit of a revolving door when it comes to the middle of the infield. Second base has been the worst overall culprit. How bad? The last player to start more than two seasons in a row as the opening day second baseman was Fernando Vina, whose final season with the […]
2014 St. Louis Cardinals Preview – First Base
And on we roll around the horn from behind the plate to the first stop on the basepaths. Cardinals fans were lucky enough to witness one of the greatest hitters in history manning first from 2004-2011. When he moved on, it wasn’t unreasonable to expect at least a bit of a drop in production, but […]
2014 St. Louis Cardinals Preview – Catchers
Two more wins. That’s all they needed. In a season where the Cardinals managed a total of 106 wins (regular and post-season), all they had to do was win two more, and the Commissioner’s Trophy would have found its way yet again to the Gateway to the West. In 2011, they won a total of […]
Hot Stove Edition: Where do the Cardinals go from here?
So. I’d began writing the draft of a Hot Stove Preview for the Cardinals, but then I got lazy and completely forgot to finish it up. In the meantime, the Cardinals managed to solve their two biggest positional problems via trades and free agency. Where does that leave this article? Good question. Obviously the Cardinals […]
