just to remind myself
... that last year, the Cards didn't sign anyone
from Dec. 27 (Kit Pellow) until Jan. 16 (Jeff Nelson).
I get anxious/excited this time of year
-- can't wait for baseball to start over again!
So, while waiting, let's examine this
interesting bit of news from January 22, 2006:
StL - Spring Training Non-Roster Invitees:
Pitchers - Andy Cavazos, Brian Falkenborg, Randy Leek,
Blaine Neal, Jeff Nelson, John Riedling, Richard Rundles,
Dennis Tankersley, Brad Voyles, John Webb, and
Luther Hackman (announced on Feb. 15)
Catchers - Bryan Anderson, Brian Esposito, Iker Franco,
Gabe Johnson, Jason Motte
Infielders - Dave Berg, Brian Daubach, Kit Pellow, and
Scott Spiezio (announced on Feb. 17 -- great signing!)
Outfielders - Ramon Nivar, Prentice Redman
If my memory hasn't failed,
only Cavazos, Anderson, Spiezo, and Motte (now a relief pitcher)
are still with the organization in 2007.
