UPDATE: Cards Acquire Holliday, page 26

[Faceman]

Now the Cardinals just need to find a way to stop sending Todd Wellemeyer out there.

Looking at the schedule, the Cards are gonna be able to skip the 5th spot in the rotation like 6 times coming down the stretch. . that 5th spot shouldn't be that important.

Yea Piniero.

why hasn't Strauss, Goold, or Leach chimed in yet?

Asleep at the wheel as usual

Walt is asleep at the wheel, Strauss is curled up in a ball in the passenger seat. Goold and Leach are spooning in the back.

So, do you bat him behind Pujols or put that OBP in front of Pujols?

ESPN has it on their MLB frontpage refering to the deal as being done.

Someone please photoshop the hat

Twitter updates say OAK's kicking in 1.5 million dollars.

So basically covering Wallace's signing bonus?

Just about.

Go ahead and transfer that money to Shelby Miller plz.

2b Schumaker
LF Holliday
1B Pujols
RF Ludwick
CF Rasmus
3B DeRosa
C Molina
P Pineiro
SS Ryan

That would be a nice lineup tonight.

[Cronos]

Schumaker
DeRosa
Pujols
Holliday
Ludwick
Rasmus
Molina
B. Ryan
Pitcher

(obviously switch back and forth the 8 and 9 depending on LaRussa's mood).

Looks PDG to me.

Hope we get pre-2009 Holliday, but even if not it's still pretty good. If it is, we need to sign him.

Anyone else surprised the Cardinals were still willing to deal with Beane after the Mulder debacle?

[KyCardinalFan]

If this really is done, I should be more excited about this than I am.

That could be your hangover.

Hopefully Rasmus can get it going again.
