I can't find it in the print media here, but KMOV & KSDK in St. Louis were reporting last night that the Cardinals are about to offer Jacque Jones a 3-year, $20 million deal (for those of you from the area, Steve Savard and Frank Cussamano reported the info).

little overpaid imo but the cards do need a outfielder they can rely on

BTW what is the deal with the blue ducks, I thought u were a cardinals fan????????

Seems like too much to me, too. Cussamano's group also reported that Giles was practically out-of-reach for the Cards, and that's why they were making this offer.

As for the ducks, what can I say? I just like 'em.

Sounds like B. Giles is out then. :-C

Not a bad deal for Jones. A little more money than I thought but he is very good defensively. Downside is that he is a very streaky hitter.

Not a bad player, very Shannon Stewart-ish but with a lower average. If he brings his BA up to where it used to be then he can be a serviceable guy at the bottom of the order but something tells me that he is destined to be a .250 hitter.

It seems like there are going to be a lot of overpaid guys because of the lack of FA's this offseason.

Ditto.

Seems like they're shaping up to be a streaky team overall so far. :-o

Jones is a good signing if they don't play him against lefties. He needs to be platooned.

A platoon player making $6M+ per year.

i read a blurb about it in a MN paper but i dont want to believe it.

if you are going to fork out nearly 7 for JJ, why not just go to ten and get giles?
