The Gas House Gang

The Cardinals picked up Adam Kennedy to fill their hole at second base.  He’s a slap hitter who you’ll never expect to hit for much power but he’s a career .280 hitter and he should do fine down in the bottom of the lineup.  He’s a left handed bat, which is nice as well.  They signed Kennedy for three years at $10 million.

Kip Wells will enter the Cardinals rotation and he’ll join Chris Carpenter and Anthony Reyes in the Cardinals pursuit to defend their championship.  Wells had a horrible year and he’s three years removed from his last good season back in 2003.  They’re only paying Wells $4 million and despite his numbers, I hope he pans out and makes a good back of the rotation starter.

The Cardinals still need two more pitchers.  Jason Schmidt sure would look good in a Cardinals uniform although the rumor I heard was that he’s close to signing with the Cardinal’s arch nemesis, the Chicago Cubs.
