Tankersley coming home?

[mwb743s]

For any local STL fans, rumor has it Dennis Tankersley(of St. Charles) will be signing with the Cardinals this week. The rumor is from my good friend who is Dennis' cousin. He would be looked at to fill a spot in the bullpen (hopefully) but is guaranteed a spot in Memphis. Will fill you in on any other info I get.

Cardinals signed RHP Dennis Tankersley to a minor league contract.
Tankersley, 26, went 9-8 with a 4.24 ERA, 148 H and 104/59 K/BB in 136 IP for Triple-A Omaha last season. His stock has fallen a long way, but especially with the way he was pitching at the end of the season, he was one of the more intriguing minor league free agents out there. He'll likely open next year at Triple-A Memphis
