Quick Hits: Cardinals trades with the Indians
Today the Cleveland Indians designated former Cardinals first round pick James Ramsey for assignment. Ramsey, 26, was dealt to the Indians in exchange for starting pitcher Justin Masterson back in July 2014 in a trade that caused a minor uproar. At the time, Ramsey was playing for Double-A Springfield and hitting .300/.389/.527 with 13 homers in 67 games for the Cardinals.

Why does the Cardinals’ offense suck so bad?
By all accounts, the St. Louis Cardinals have talented hitters.

Yet two weeks until the season starts and the Cardinals sit 28th of 30 teams in run production. It isn’t a … Continue reading

Adam LaRoche makes the decision most Dads wish they could
Adam LaRoche just made the decision that most Dads wish they could. You see, for the last few years, Adam LaRoche has brought his son Drake to the ballpark with him pretty much every day. The team’s he’s been on (the Washington Nationals from 2011 to 2014 and the Chicago White Sox last year) pretty much accepted the young man as their “26th man.” After the Nationals won the NL … Continue reading
