Yup, everyone's favorite pitcher has gone to the Redbirds with 1 year, $1 million deal.
That faint sound you hear outside? That's Jerry Narron weeping.

“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Hopefully the Reds will be able to shell him like the Cards did last year.

Stugatz!

"My mission is to be the ray of hope, the guy who stands out there on that beautiful field and owns up to his mistakes and lets people know it's never completely hopeless, no matter how bad it seems at the time. I have a platform and a message, and now I go to bed at night, sober and happy, praying I can be a good messenger." -Josh Hamilton
I wonder if any Cardinal fans think Franklin signed for less than market value just for the privilige of playing in St Louis.
I've been to dinner at Jimmy Buffet's house, and I've eaten it at a homeless shelter. And there's great joy and harrowing terror to be found in both places.

So much for all those who were screaming last season about how Wayne was acquiring all of these trash pitchers that nobody else wanted. Let's see....
Franklin gets 1 million from the Cards
Schoenweis about to get 10+ million from the Mets
Even Yan and J. Johnson are getting paid to pitch in Japan
Michalak going to camp with the Nats
Still waiting to see someone toss some money at Joe Mays though....
I wonder if the Reds will owe the Cardinals compensation?
I'm all for this move as the NL central division needs more arms like Franklin.....
Duncan may be a genius but there is no way he makes Franklin a quality starter.....
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
I think I read somewhere that the compensation for a "Z" level free agent was a pizza party at Chuck E. Cheese's for the front office staff and a year's supply of Pabst Blue Ribbon for the team!
