... was one of the players I thought represented a very low-end replacement of Eckstein and had hoped the Cardinals would’ve taken a flyer on him. Well, they did. Jimenez isn’t all that much to get excited over, he’s sort of the ...
New Cardinals, Former Cardinals
C70 At The Bat —
The Cardinals made a minor move yesterday, signing D’Angelo Jimenez to a minor league contract . There are a couple of things that come to mind when I hear about Jimenez. One is that, when they were coming up in the Yankee organization about a decade ago, observers were split on whether he or Alfonso Soriano would be the better player. That comparison doesn’t happen much anymore. And, secondly, I remember he had a pretty solid year for the Reds a few years back. Looking through that PD article, they note it was 2004, with a .270/12/67 season. Boy, if the Cardinals got ...
$20 million ain’t what it used to be
Cardinals Diaspora —
... Let the D’Angelo Jimenez-era begin! Ok, ok, ok, it’s not an era, and by all accounts, this sounds like a depth/spring training competition signing. And for $600K only if he remains on the major league roster, it’s not like it’s a financial back breaker.

It’s all relative: Jimenez upgrades infield offense
Fungoes —
Rather than risk alienating half our reader base by publishing a third-consecutive post "critical" of a Cardinal player, we decided to "go positive" on the team’s latest acquisition, D’Angelo Jimenez (B-Ref name: D’ Jim), signed today to $600,000 split contract.
We like John Mozeliak’s explanation that "We think there’s some offense there, and that’s what we’ve been looking to add." Jimenez isn’t exactly Rogers Hornsby, but he at least offers an on-base percentage starting with the ...
