Josh Phelps signed a minor league deal with the Cardinals. I'm kind of baffled that not only did he choose to stay in the NL, but he chose a team with a first baseman that he'll never ever play over or platoon with.

Speaking of the Cardinals, the PG story discussed below mentions that the Pirates finally completed their trade with the Cubs for the man that is now the Cards starting shortstop, Cesar Izturis. It appears that after asking for the infamous player To B. Namedlater, the Cubbies are settling for the troubled minor leaguer Cash Considerations.

Ian Snell: not pitching but totally not hurt. Wink ;)
