in NL Central, St. Louis Cardinals

Last year before the season began, I posed five questions to a blogger for each team, so as to get to know the rest of baseball.  I focus so heavily on the Cardinals that sometimes the rest of MLB can pass me by.  That went very well, so much so that it spawned not only [...]

March 14, 2010

Jacob Priday has apparently decided to return to baseball. Priday was selected by the Astros in the 2008 draft and spent that summer as a DH/1B in Tri-City and Lexington. He spent last season on the inactive list, and the Astros said he had retired. Now, according to Baseball America, he has [...]
