Though they did not make a move on July 31st, the St. Louis Cardinals received a gift at the Trade Deadline this season when they acquired Matt Holliday from the Oakland Athletics. Holliday was one of the best hitters in the league in 2007 when he was with the Rockies. His .340 average, 36 [...] So, Brandon Inge did end up hitting zero jacks like I predicted; however, he was not the only one that failed to put on a show. Adrian Gonzalez only powered out two homers and Albert Pujols barely made it out of the first round. Nelson Cruz almost won it for me, but his performance [...] Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, Prince Fielder, and Adrian Gonzalez. While all first baseman, those are the NL sluggers that will be participating in the 2009 State Farm Home Run Derby. It’s quite an impressive group, with Pujols having 32 jacks, Howard having 22, Fielder having 22 and Gonzalez having 24. However, it’s a different [...] Instead of going after a big gun like Matt Holliday, the St. Louis Cardinals have reached an agreement with the Cleveland Indians to send 23-year old relief pitcher Chris Perez to Cleveland for the ultimate utility man, Mark DeRosa.

St. Louis Cardinals 4 – New York Mets 6: Albert Pujols didn’t homer. Chicago Cubs 0 – Atlanta Braves 2: One Soriano didn’t play. San Fransisco Giants 1 – Oakland Athletics 5: Jonathan Sanchez is 2-8. [...] St. Louis Cardinals 12 – Kansas City Royals 5: I will dive further into this topic during the Daytime Baseball Update, but Albert Pujols is on a tear. 10 jacks in the month of June with more games to come. With two yesterday, including his third grand slam of the season, Prince Albert now [...] Introducing a new post here, the Daytime Baseball Update. Anytime there are afternoon games scheduled or there is some breaking news to talk about, I will do it with this post. Raul Ibanez Has Been Placed On the 15-Day DL: A strained groin has landed the best off-season add on the disabled list. [...] The battle between the Washington Nationals and Stephen Strasburg‘s agent Scott Boras will begin tomorrow at 6 PM ET when Stephen officially becomes the number one pick in the draft.
