Cardinals Invite Former Chicago Cubs Catcher Koyie Hill To Spring Training
One of the first moves St. Louis Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak made prior to the team's 2011 World Series Championship season was a curious move among those who enjoy, or hate, the Chicago Cubs rivalry.
Prior to last season the Cardinals signed Ryan Theriot to a one year contract to play shortstop and ultimately come off the bench as a pinch-hitter in the post-season...

With hitting like that one would expect him to be a defensive wizard. That wizardry turns out to be tough to detect, and both Baseball Reference and FanGraphs rate his defense poorly. He’s slightly...
