I've Been Distracted...

...Otherwise I would have been quicker with the "We also sent thema bag of new balls" joke on this news:

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired catcher Kelly Stinnett from the Los Angeles Dodgers for cash on Sunday.

The 37-year-old Stinnett is scheduled to join the Cardinals before Tuesday's game against Cincinnati. Stinnett was playing for Triple-A Las Vegas, where he appeared in 31 games.

The Cardinals, who were playing the Houston Astros on Sunday, will make a corresponding roster move before Tuesday's game.

Stinnett has played for seven teams in 11 major league seasons. He hit a career-high 14 homers with Arizona in 1999.

Stinnett was hitting .196 with Las Vegas. He has a .237 lifetime average in the majors.

What? We couldn't find a .190 hitting catcher in our own organization?
