stlfisher Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Cards sign Beltran to a two year deal with full no trade clause. He won't replace Albert but a possible 300/20-25/80-90 RBI will be a nice addition to the lineup...and only for two years. Good deal I think.
Brian K. Shaffer Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Did they say for how much ?? and didnt he start out as a Royal ? I believe so.. Phil said he thought so.. then went to SF.

exiledguide Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Did they say for how much ?? and didnt he start out as a Royal ? I believe so.. Phil said he thought so.. then went to SF. Royals to Houston to Mets to Giants. He had a big 2 months with Houston in 2004 I think, and got a big contract from the Mets and after 2006 I thought he had gone into the tank. Big contract with Mets and he was blamed for the playoff loss in 2006. It can affect a lot of players with the newspapers and then the fans blaming you for the teams failures. I hope he can stay healthy and go back to his pre 2007 play. They pretty well ran Berkman out of NY.

Justin Spencer Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 2 years 26 million was what I saw on the news. "The problem with a politician’s quote on Facebook is you don’t know whether or not they really said it." –Abraham Lincoln Tales of an Ozark Campground Proprietor Dead Drift Fly Shop
stlfisher Posted December 23, 2011 Author Posted December 23, 2011 Yeah it was 2 years $26 million. Overpaid a bit for a shorter deal, but won't hamstring the Cardinals long term. He has had knee issues the last few years, but was healthy last year. He shouldn't play everyday, but probably 5 games a week and splitting time with Craig, Berkmann, and Jay should keep them all healthy and productive.
Brian K. Shaffer Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 So now we have a bevy of guys who are just one bad slide or twisting tweak away from being on the DL, more than likely longer than just a 15 day stint : Berkman Beltran Furcal Holiday Carpenter, Chris Westbrook ugh....
