Cardinals acquired 3B Pedro Feliz and cash considerations from the Astros for RHP David Carpenter.
Get psyched? We know that Tony La Russa loves his veterans, but Feliz was batting just .221/.243/.311 with four home runs and 31 RBI with the Astros this season. The Cardinals probably aren't paying him much, so it's worth the gamble. He gives the Cardinals another option at the hot corner with David Freese done for the year and Felipe Lopez struggling.

Dang. Slow on the draw again.
Mods can kill my thread.
I bet Chris was infuriated that there was another Carpenter in the organization and demanded that the Cardinals trade the other one
As a Reds fan....I absolutely love this signing.
Baseball is like church. Many attend, few understand
He's hitting .221/.243/.311 - .554 OPS and has a -7.9 UZR/150 at 3B this season...
thread should have been titled "Cards Trade Carpenter".
It is on the whole probable that we continually dream, but that consciousness makes such a noise that we do not hear it. Carl Jung.
Just because all these positive and up-beat posts on Redszone are kinda freaking me out....on the negative side of things...The Astros just got better.:
Jim Edmonds. Pedro Feliz. Jim Edmonds. Pedro Feliz.
Adavantage in the August trade window:

Seems like the Cards have a habit of picking up Pedro Feliz types in the past for 45 day rentals and they suddenly go .330/10/35 in a month though.

Really? What are some examples you are thinking of?
"Rounding 3rd and heading for home, good night everybody"
Out of curiosity, who? Feliz is a .600 OPS third baseman at this point. That's pretty hard to do. Who have they reclaimed from that kind of scrap heap in the past? I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that they have rehabilitated at this time of year who has up to that point been awful
Wow. NICE IMPROVEMENT FOR THE CARDS AT 3B!! HA-HA-HA!!
Sorry. I just love seeing the Cards making lateral moves.

I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
I don't really see what this move does for the Cardinals. I know they did not want to be stuck with Lopez at 3rd but this really is not much better. This is the kind of move I love to see from the Reds competition.
