As I mentioned yesterday, Andrew Brackman was going to make his first appearance on the mound since having Tommy John surgery.

Baseball America named that player of the year David Freese, but the Cardinals gave the honor to Daryl Jones. There is an argument for both, but I think the Birds got the right guy. Jess Todd was named the pitcher of the year. Strauss reports he ...
