WOO HOO! WOO HOO!
GUESS WHO NOW, DUDE?
IT’S TRIVIA TUESDAY’S ANSWER!
.
YOUR TRIVIA QUESTION. . . . .
Trades, trades, trades!
You know that baseball players are always comin’ and going.’
What is referred to as the most lopsided trade in baseball history? Hint: It was in the 60′s & included STL and the Chicago Cubs.
.
Note: Okay, I know this was last week’s question, but we were injured & out for a stint….so, here you go (again)!
.
.
YOUR ANSWER IS. . .
Brock for Broglio Deal – Lou Brock and Ernie Broglio were the key players in a six-player deal in 1964. Lou Brock, Jack Spring and Paul Toth were traded from the Chicago Cubs to the St. Louis Cardinals for Broglio, Bobby Shantz, and Doug Clemens.
They thought initially the Cubs had done better in the deal, as Broglio was coming off some impressive seasons while pitching for the Cardinals, while Brock had been considered a disappointment for the Cubs.
You know the rest, Lou-u-u-u-u!
Brock would bat .348 for the Cardinals and lead us to winning the 1964 World Series. Brock helped the Cardinals another World Series title in 1967 and played successfully for St. Louis until 1979. Over 3000 hits and 900 stolen bases later he became baseball’s all-time leader in stolen bases. Brock was elected to the Hall of Fame election in 1985. St. Louis loves Lou-u-u! 
If you were wondering….Broglio went only 4-7 with a 4.04 ERA for the Cubs, and by 1966 was out of Major League Baseball. What a trade. huh?
SEE YOU NEXT WEEK TO PLAY TRIVIA TUESDAY!!

JHONNY PERALTA 2013 DET TIGERS STATS: .303 BA w/ 11 LONG BALLS
.
ST. LOUIS — Yes! There is baseball happening during the long, cold winter months. Somewhere!
.
Next week are Baseball’s annual Winter Meetings. All thirty MLB team’s top brass (some players too) will go to Buena Vista, Florida for four days of sun and FUN! and….a lot of work. There is the 2014 season to get ready for!  .
Our STL Cardinals approach these meetings in semi-casual mode.With the Worlds Series barely over, our club moved quickly and has already tackled two of our major need areas. We added Jhonny Peralta @ short and Peter Bourjos in center. Think Mo will take time to work on his tan too! .
.
“Right now, we’ve accomplished what we set out, what we wanted, to do,” general manager John Mozeliak said last week during a news conference to announce the Peralta signing. “Over the next week and a half, we’ll reassess where we are with my group, then meet with the coaching staff and see what the next step is.”
.
Our Cards still have several openings on our 40-man roster. The December 12 Rule 5 Draft is a key moment at the Meetings which we have 30th selection. They call it a “wrap-up event of sorts at the Winter Meetings.” Mo has even said that he could be on the lookout for another infielder to challenge Kolten Wong for the starting second base job. Healthy competition always keeps the guys on their toes! .
Our Cardinals go into the Meetings in a position of strength. We likey that stuff!
,
Good luck, work hard and have FUN!

A FREEZER WAS MOVED. . .
.
Cardinals’ beat writer Jennifer Langosch, answered fan questions last week about the Redbird Infield Shuffle that’s taken place. As usual, she’s very informative. She’s a girl, yes a girl for goodness sakes, that knows her Cardinals baseball! Here’s a shorter version of Jennifer’s report for you:
.
Kolton Wong - Carp2′s move to third base freed up a spot at second. Kolton Wong will get promoted from the Minors & be our regular Birdman at second. Wong has been gearing up for this position for some time now. Friday Mo said we may still go after another infielder that would add to the second-base competition.
.
Carlos Beltran – OUR Killer B doesn’t look like he will still be OURS in 2014. Beltran already has had several teams that are interested in giving him the three-year contract he desires.
We’ll be okay & wish him lots-o-luck. He just CAN”T come back & be one of those Cardinal Killers! Okay Carlos?
.
OF Strength – We have lots of depth in the OF. Mo & Manager Mike will decide in Spring Training where guys like Minor Leaguer, Oscar Taveras, will work. Tavy has been shadowing the Killer B, so right field looks to be his spot. New guy, Peter Borjous, is the favorite right now for center. Matt Adams and Allen Craig will be in the mix somewhere too. Spring Training will have another one of those contests for us to follow w/interest. That’s always FUN! –FUN! for us! lol
.
Jon Jay – JJ’s name wasn’t even brought up in Jennifer’s report. I don’t know what will happen to our High-Socks Sunday dude. 
Or…he might be an extra guy in the OF. He’s gotta decent left-handed bat, but our OF is getting kinda crowded, isn’t it?

THE DAVID FREESE WATCH IS OVER!
.
ST. LOUIS — Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock somewhere, you’ve heard. . . It happened — Cardinal third baseman David Freese went to the Anaheim Angels in a four-player trade Friday. Freezer was traded for center fielder Peter Bourjos and Minor League outfielder Randal Grichuk. LHP Fernando Salas was traded too. .
.
Bourjos, 23, is considered to be one of the best defensive center fielders in baseball. Bourjos is a career .251 hitter with speed — he’s compared to a cheetah (I can’t wait to see him go!). Bourjos stole 41 bases in 54 attempts. Last season he was hitting .313 and then was sidelined April 30 with a strained hamstring. June 29 he was hit by a pitch that broke his right wrist (he was out for 2 1/2 months for that one). Sure hope he’s done w/that DL action. No jinx! .
As we all know, Freezer’s 2014 role in St. Louis was uncertain. This season he struggled and hit only nine homers (hit 20 in 2012) and batted .262 with 60 RBIs. Not the production our Cardinals expected from someone they had wanted to fill a the middle-of-the-order spot. We look forward to see him get/hit out of that out in Anaheim. I’m sure Angel AP has some pointers to pass on to his old teammate!
.
.
The arrival of Bourjos presumably means high-sox Sunday JJ ( Jon Jay) will be on the way out of St. Louis at some point. Sorry JJ! .
Good luck to everybody!
.

Sunday our Cards signed free-agent
Jhonny Peralta to a four-year contract.
“We are pleased to announce that Jhonny has agreed to terms and I know he is equally excited to be joining the Cardinals,” Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said in a statement. “Jhonny is among the game’s top offensive shortstops, he’s a steady defender and he has experience playing for a contender. He gives us proven veteran experience and brings balance and versatility to our everyday lineup. ”
Peralta is the first player suspended in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug scandal to receive a significant contract. He received a 50-game suspension on Aug. 5 for his connection to the now-closed Florida clinic, but returned for the Detroit Tigers’ final three regular season games.

On that note, I’m anxious to see how he does & if he’s Cardinals material. We need to give him a chance. I guess alls we can do is wait and see. Think good thoughts, fans! He batted .303 this season for the Tigers.

FREESE FRAME

.
NOW IT EVEN HAS A NAME….THE DAVID FREESE WATCH!
.
ST. LOUIS — 11/21/13. Our Cards & third baseman David Freese will part ways in the future. We don’t know when, but it looks certain to happen. Baseball talks about it almost daily. The media even calls it The David Freese Watch. Yes, we’re lookin’ to move a Freezer. We just don’t know who will help.
.
David Freese’s name has already been linked with the New York Yankees and Miami Marlins. The latest Hot Stove buzz is w/the AL Angels….Yesiree, home of Sir Albert Pujols. Baseball fans that talk to me about the David Freese Watch, tell me they think it will be a couple of weeks. The MLB Winter Meetings will be in the first part of December.
.
Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports that Angels do indeed have a hole at third. They have Chris Nelson penciled in, barring any roster changes. No shortstop talkin’ with the Halo’s deal, it’s more like outfield depth. Rosenthal thinks they have OFers we could consider. .
Baseball has even said that it wouldn’t be a stretch to suggest that they’re down on the Freezer. I’m not surprised, are you? It’s an unpleasant thing to think about, but our hometown hero struggled both in the field and at the plate in 2013. That business of baseball needs to be successful.
.
It’s obvious that our Cards have made some decisions. They are high on Kolton Wong at second and Carp2 at third (and for good reason).
.
If Rosenthal is correct in his assessment that the Cardinals are seeking outfield help, then let’s take a look at what the Angels have to give up. mlbvoice.com will keep you posted – you know that!
.
.
WHERE WILL FREEZER END UP?
