Former St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Corey Patterson has signed a minor league deal with the Milwaukee Brewers. In 2011, Patterson hit .239 with six home runs, 36 RBI and added in 13 stolen bases. After joining the Cardinals in August, he played in 44 games, while only managing a .157 batting average, while serving as a fourth or fifth outfielder much of the time.
Brewers mark the sixth franchise that Patterson will pursue in his career.
The 32-year-old outfielder will go to spring training and compete for a spot on the team that has a tough outfield rotation to crack with Carlos Gomez & recent Japanese signing Norichika Aoki being inked into outfield spots. The potential loss of Ryan Braun for the beginning of the season, due to a potential steroid-based suspension, could open a chance for him to make the big league club.
Milwaukee is the Patterson’s fourth club within the National League Central, and second trip with the Brewers. After being drafted and debuting with the Chic...

As regular readers know, I have been a vocal critic of the St. Louis Cardinals for closing their museum back in 2008 and keeping it closed indefinitely. Since it may be some time (Phase 1 of Ballpark Village) until it re-opens, the club has invested in a virtual museum experience.
The new website, www.cardinals.com/museum, has been launched today, January 30, with the goal of highlighting...

Cardinals outfielder Skip Schumaker's connection to the Rally Squirrel in St. Louis is going to last forever. Or, at least as long as few small pieces of cardboard hold up. MLB.com points out that Schumaker's 2012 Topps baseball card will feature just his right foot. The rest of the card is reserved for one pesky squirrel who became a national celebrity during last year&...

It does seem odd that the St. Louis Cardinals are willing to send do-everything pitcher Kyle McClellan somewhere else. He’s a local boy. He moved through the ranks as a starting pitcher but willingly switched to the bullpen to help the big club, becoming a dependable late-innings guy. Last season, after Adam Wainwright went down, he willingly switched back to the rotation...

With Carlos Beltran leaving the Mets via trade and then signing with the Cardinals, there appears to be a lot of nostalgia going around about his career.
In fact, it seems lately that Carlos Beltran and “Hall of Fame,” have been seen together in several discussions with Mets fans.
Personally, I think the Hall of Fame is getting a bit too watered down. I love that a guy like Ron...

According to the latest rumors, Roy Oswalt is likely to end up in St. Louis. Edwin Jackson has "multiple" three-year offers, but may accept a one-year deal to see what his market is for next year. (Which puzzles me a bit, actually. Why not the bird in the hand?) The Sox are still mentioned as a possible one-year destination for Jackson.We're past plan B, and probably...
