cranny, how is Narveson out of options?
The only thing I can think of is that he can be
a minor league FA at the end of the year. In that
sense, then, he's "out of options." But he could be
moved up and down from AAA to StL all year, if
I understand options.
kodiak, you've probably already seen this signing:
The Cardinals -- avoiding arbitration with
LHP Randy Flores
as a super two -- signed him to a 2-year, $1.8M contract.
The deal is for $800k for 2007 and $1M in 2008.
Looks like he's expected to make the trip north.
gocrazy, when Walt says Ankiel's "slotted" for AAA he may not
mean "at the beginning of the season." He may mean, instead, that
he hopes Ankiel will slide into the AAA outfield before the end
of the season.
I wouldn't be too surprised to see him begin at AA or even Palm Beach.
