Matt Holliday expected to reach the open market

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 15:28:42 +0000

Sporting News staff reports Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak and agent Scott Boras both expect outfielder Matt Holliday to reach the open market, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "We need to spend some time with Matt and his agent and share what our vision is, what we have to offer, and at some point I'm sure we will," Mozeliak told the newspaper. "But at the same time, that's part of why we traded for him, to get him here, and at some point you'd think he has a pretty good idea of what we have to offer. ... Most players, if they haven't agreed to terms at this point, it means they are working their way to the open market." The Cardinals have exclusive negotiating rights with Holliday until November 20, at which time Holliday would be free to sign with any team. The Cardinals have called re-signing Holliday a "high priority," though they deny that a formal offer has been made to Holliday. ...

Which Players Make Good Managers?

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 00:05:21 +0000

Mark McGwire is back in St. Louis. Big Mac will join the Cardinals' coaching staff as the hitting coach. We've all heard the various complaints, criticisms, and even praise for the Redbirds' new hitting instructor, but how much of it is warranted? Should a player get a coaching job just because of his superstar status as a player? Without a doubt, some superstars have gone on to excel as a major league manager—John McGraw, Joe Torre, and Frank Chance come readily to mind. These were high-average hitters who could likely make the Hall of Fame solely on their playing prowess, but instead continued their careers as coaches and sat at the helm of dynasties. But what of the men who couldn't make it as major league players, but found success as on the dugout's top step? Sparky Anderson, Jim Leyland, and Earl Weaver all had success as managers who barely played in the majors. Leyland and Weaver never saw a major league at-bat, Anderson was the only player in history to see 500-plus at bats in his ...

Selig welcomes Cardinals' hiring of McGwire

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 00:38:49 +0000

Bud Selig is happy Big Mac is back in baseball. Mark McGwire was hired this week as hitting coach of the St. Louis Cardinals, ending an exile for the former slugger who became notorious for his refusal to answer congressional questions about steroids use. "Over the years I developed affection for players who I get to know and have been good," Selig said Thursday before Game 2 of the World Series. McGwire hit a then-record 70 homers in 1998 and retired with 583 in 2001.

Pujols: I want to be a Cardinal, but 'no rush' to sign

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:00:11 +0000

Albert Pujols said in a radio interview that he wants to play for the St. Louis Cardinals for the rest of his career, clearing up remarks from he made earlier this month. In the interview a few weeks ago with a Dominican radio station, the two-time NL MVP had said he was in no hurry to sign a contract extension. He has one year left on his contract plus an option year and said then he wanted the Cardinals to concentrate on signing Matt Holliday and other free agents first.

Pujols: 'I want to be a Cardinal for the rest of my career'

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 17:34:42 +0000

Sporting News staff reports During a radio interview on 101.1 FM in St. Louis, first baseman Albert Pujols expressed his desire to remain a Cardinal for his entire career. "The fans know and the Cardinals know that I want to be a Cardinal for my whole career," Pujols said. "I love this city. The way that this city has embraced me and my family, I don't deserve the city to do that. And when you hear all of the players that come around to this town and say, 'You guys are lucky that you are playing in St. Louis,' we have the best fans. I want to be a Cardinal for the rest of my career." Pujols created a bit of a stir recently when he told a Dominican radio station that he was in no hurry to sign a contract extension with the Cardinals. Pujols is signed through 2010, and the team has an option for 2011, so he said there is no rush to get a deal done. Speaking on 101.1 FM, Pujols also praised the team's decision to ...

Cards face free-agent questions with rotation, third base

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 14:36:56 +0000

Sporting News staff reports The St. Louis Post-Dispatch notes the Cardinals' rotation finished with the second-most wins (69) in the majors, was the only unit to throw over 1,000 innings and posted a solid 3.66 ERA this season. However, there are questions for next season. Righthanders Joel Pineiro, a 15-game winner, John Smoltz and Todd Wellemeyer will become free agents this offseason. Kyle Lohse, injured for much of 2009 after winning 15 games in 2008, is under contract through 2012. According to the newspaper, there is a good chance Smoltz will re-sign with St. Louis. General manager John Mozeliak told the Post-Dispatch that the fifth spot likely will be filled from within the organization. Candidates include Jaime Garcia, Mitchell Boggs and P.J. Walters. The team also will have a decision to make at third base. After having successful surgery Monday to repair a completely torn tendon sheath in his left wrist, Mark DeRosa is ...

With Cardinals job, McGwire looks to rebuild his image

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 20:11:25 +0000

Coming soon: A "confession" from Mark McGwire. The reasons: To begin rebuilding his image, enhance his chances of making the Hall of Fame and be able to return to baseball in relative peace. The setting: As part of his new job as Cardinals' hitting coach, the club expects McGwire to make himself available to the media "sooner rather than later." McGwire's hiring was announced Monday at a news conference at Busch Stadium that he did not attend. The club said it did not ask him to make the trip from Southern California to St. Louis but it plans to hold a conference call with the media perhaps this week. Mark McGwire embarassed himself during a 2005 congressional hearing about steroids. What he'll "confess:" Probably not much if McGwire follows the pattern of previous sluggers linked to steroids. Still, to make this work, he'll need to offer a few details about the past. Look for McGwire to say this will be this will be a one-time deal and from ...
