Carlos Beltran and the Cardinals?

Found December 09, 2011 on Red Birds Fun:
PLAYERS: Carlos Beltran,  Allen Craig,  Jim Bowden,  Jimmy Rollins,  Rafael Furcal,  Albert Pujols
TEAMS: New York Mets,  Houston Astros,  St. Louis Cardinals,  Philadelphia Phillies,  Los Angeles Angels

Beltran
There's just something about former Houston Astros players and the St. Louis Cardinals. There's currently talk that the St. Louis Cardinals are pursuing Carlos Beltran, which makes you wonder what's going to happen with Allen Craig's future.Craig will be recovering at the start of the season from off-season knee surgery.Jim Bowden tweeted:Cardinals express interest in Carlos Beltran, Jimmy Rollins (will end up w/Phils) &Rafael Furcal as they begin to work on life after PujolsI think Rollins will ultimately stay with the Phillies.Jon Morosi has also tweeted with regards to Beltran and the Cardinals:Carlos Beltran fits the #STLCards in so many ways. Jimmy Rollins does, too. The irony: They have the same agent as Albert Pujols.
