"The St. Louis Cardinals acquired outfielder Ian Church from the Kalamazoo Kings of the Frontier League. Church, the League's MVP, is the Cards' second independent league player added this week, following his former teammate, catcher Chris Grossman." - scout.com
Both 25 yrs old and had some solid offensive numbers last year.
Church comes out of the blue and puts up some very nice numbers last season after doing not much of anything in his first 3 years of the ind leagues. I guess 31 homers and .1048 ops is nothing to blink at even if it is just the independent leagues.
Grossman has had some solid seasons at USC. He is listed as a DH/C so one might speculate hes not much of a catcher...

Probably will end up being nothing more than fillers, but when there is nothing else going on baseball wise its something to talk about.
