The Rangers, Mets, Giants and Braves are among the contenders who could seek help at first base. The Tigers and Mariners are among those who could upgrade at DH.

Troy Glaus Shut Down, Season Nearing 'Lost Cause' Stage

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:55:00 -0500

by Matt SnyderFiled under: Cardinals, NL Central, MLB InjuriesTroy Glaus has been trying to come back from injury all season, and the timetable just keeps extending. The latest news is that he has left his minor league rehab assignment and is shut down indefinitely. With around two months left in the season, we are nearing the writing-on-the-wall portion of Glaus' 2009 campaign. It's easy to say his season is in jeopardy, but we already knew that. The Cardinals already knew it, otherw...

Palm Beach was postponed. Quad Cities game was suspended in the 3rd. Troy Glaus and Khalil Greene will be heading to Memphis tomorrow. Memphis 5, Omaha 3 Daniel Descalso was 0-for-3 with a walk. He also turned another double play. Allen Craig smashed 2 homeruns. His overall line for the season (.765 OPS) still looks weak. Adam [...]

The Glaus Experiment

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 11:15:05 -0500

Would Troy Glaus be appealing

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:47:00 -0500

Ken Rosenthal is reporting that Troy Glaus is preparing to return from a shoulder injury on Aug. 3rd. While his shoulder is fine hitting, he is struggling to throw from third and may have to move to firstbase. The Cards have Pujols at first and Glaus is making 11.25MM for this year. For the Cards that's an expense bench player/pinch hitter.Rosenthal believes that Glaus would be appealing to the Mets, who could afford his contract and are unwilling to move prospect chips for a bigger impac...

Report: Troy Glaus Used Steriods in '03, '04

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:12:37 -0500

The New York Times is reporting that Cardinals third baseman Troy Glaus told investigators that he injected himself with steroids once every four days starting in November 2003 and ending in February 2004. Glaus resumed using steroids in May 2004 and stopped in August of that season. Also mentioned in the report were Todd Greene, Ismael Valdez, and Scott Schoeneweis.
Injuries played a big factor in the steroid use, but people will still probably come down hard on him. He is currently on the 15-day DL, so hopefully he can talk with reporters now and get everything straightened out before he returns.

It's a gloomy time in St. Louis after seeing the Redbirds cough up 4 straight, essentially ending any hopes of postseason play. The balloon that is Cardinal baseball is deflating. Quickly. The players and coaching staff seem dejected and exhausted, and right now Cardinal Nation feels more like Mudville. High spirits, [...]

Rating the Tigers Entrance Music

was fortunate enough to attend this afternoon's Tigers game against the Blue Jays with my friends Matt and Bill. I would give a more detailed account of the game but I don't remember much because it was freezing. Freezing is actually an understatement. Today's game made the Ice Planet of Hoth look like a sunny summer resort planet, only instead of AT-AT's lumbering around it was Frank Thomas and Troy Glaus and instead of snow and sleet blowing around and stinging your face it ...
