The Cardinals have given Mike Myers back to the Red Sox for a couple of prospects. This is fine, since his bizarre delivery doesn't change the fact that he has the same name as a Hollywood-created serial killer from the 1970's. It also doesn't change the fact that he's bad.

Brian has added a new entry to his RRBL page in which he breaks down a couple of trades made in the league, so be sure and give it a look or you might find yourself out of the RRBL loop.

Apparently the Indians have named Juan Gonzalez their starting right fielder, sending prospect Grady Sizemore back to the minor leagues for at least part of another season. It’s easy to say Gonzalez is the right choice because of his past, but three seasons have gone by without Gonzalez being healthy or productive. If he somehow stays healthy he’ll likely be more productive in 2005 than Sizemore would be, but he won’t come close to those gaudy stats he used to put up. If Gonzalez is clean-shaven, he has no chance. It’s a proven fact that he succeeds only with mustache in tow.

Sprayahen's St. Louis Cardinals and Other Notes on the State of Baseball continues to undergo massive remodeling, which has affected every single page over the past 24 hours or so. It should be set by Opening Day. For now, check out all the pages as if you've never seen them before. Because in many cases, you probably haven't.
-SpencerAlbert Pujols is hitting .364-5-11 in 44 at-bats during Spring Training. Most impressively, he has yet to strike out. I know a lot of people disregard spring stats, but it's just ridiculous that whenever Albert plays, he beats the hell out of the baseball. If I woke him up at three in the morning (the current time), brought Randy Johnson out of the shadows and handed Albert a bat, he would easily hit the ball 800 feet, yawn, and be back in bed before it landed. I seriously do not think he is a real person.
