Percival

Here's a good article about the Percival signing. Turns out that the Cardinals were the first team to see him pitch due to Percival's relationship with Adam Kennedy. The article mentions that he was offered several guaranteed MAJOR league contracts but decided to go with the Cardinals in large part because of the friends he has on this team (Kennedy, Spiezio, Eckstein and Edmonds). Nobody knows what we got with this signing, but it's encouraging to know that he's isn't in a hurry to get back in the majors, just to get on the mound in a game and work his way back up.
