• Cards sign Berkman to one-year deal

    The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that they have signed free agent first baseman/outfielder Lance Berkman to a one-year deal.

    “He’s an impact player who not only helps solidify our everyday lineup, but he also brings a wealth of experience," Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said in a statement.

    Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

    Berkman, 34, played 12 seasons for the Houston Astros before being dealt to the New York Yankees last season.

      Lance? I don't get too involved in off-season Cards threads, but this is definitely interesting.

      Wow.

      Gotta keep Rasmus now, yes? Someone in the outfield has to be able to catch the baseball?

      Lance has not played the OF since 2007...well, he's definitely an upgrade on offense.

      Staff better work extra hard on the sinker during Spring Training. But almost any 1 year deal cant be terrible.

      He'll be an adequate first baseman for the Redbirds in 2012.

      The fact you failed to show up for your autograph session yesterday was front page news

      I think you move Holliday to RF, Albert to LF and Berkman to 1B.

      It's the only thing that makes any sense.

      Albert's legs and feet in the OF frighten me.

      Yeah. I'm not serious, but I might head over to Cards Talk and get them fired up.
