The Gas House Gang

Whether it makes sense or not, the Cardinals are busy lining up the players that led them to their first World Series win since 1982.  Super sub Scott Spiezio signed a two year, $4.5 million contract with the Cardinals and it’s expected that the switch hitter will play all over the field again in 2007.  The Cardinals have an option to keep Spiezio in 2009 if they so desire.

This was a solid move.  Having a guy like Spiezio gives Tony LaRussa a ton of flexibility.  And it comes at a pretty low price (relatively speaking).  If anyone goes down, you can rely on Spiezio to fill in the spot.
