My arrival is as welcome to fans as Frankenstein's was to medieval villagers.
Surveying the wreckage that is the free agent market and the amount of payroll the Cards already have on the book, I was left with a sense of foreboding about any winter signings and I thought of an exercise a friend and I went through years ago. We assembled a list of baseball clichés and sportswriters musings and gave them translations into what they really meant. One popped into my mind as an indication of what I think we have to look forward to in the Hot Stove League:
"His bat speed is glacial, his defensive skills are deteriorating, but he
works hard and comes cheap."
Translation: We just signed Rich Gedman.
