The Cardinals signed Troy Percival to a minor league contract.
He joins ex-Angel teammates, Eckstein, Kennedy, and Spezio as members of the formal 2002 World Champs to come to St. Louis. He's a 37-year old closer that hasn't pitched since 2005 - he tried to pitch last year but couldn't get over some forearm issues.
He's most recent served as a pitching coach for the Angels, but decided he felt good enough to give the majors a shot. I hope La Russa doesn't bring him up and slide Franklin into the rotation. Ryan's been pitching well for us and I hope they don't mess with that.
I won't go as far as saying this is a waste of money (who knows - maybe he'll get in shape and we can trade him off or sign him for cheap for next year), but it just feels like Jockety is scraping anything he can muster from garage sales. You can buy all the brick brack you want for $0.25, but when you get home - what do you do with all the junk?
