The Gas House Gang

Second Base: The Cardinals re-signed Aaron Miles to a one-year contract and signed D’Angelo Jimenez to a minor league contract and have invited him to spring training. Miles, Adam Kennedy, and Jimenez will all have the chance to compete for the starting second base job, probably leaving last year’s feel-good story Brendan Ryan out of the picture. Jimenez will be the long shot to make the team because of the other two players’ contracts, so he will really have to impress in spring training. Miles and Kennedy will be in a similar situation to last year, with a healthy Kennedy getting every chance to win the spot.
