Jim Edmonds Minor League Contractpalooza Thread

So Jim Edmonds just signed a minor league contract, which is good news regardless in the wake of Walt Jocketty's suggestion that he was on the verge of retirement. But it happens to be with the Cardinals, and now I don't know what to do with myself. Do I—do I start a parade? Is there a parade I can join?
I don't know whether he'll make the team or not—as everyone excited by this news has already considered, the Cardinals happen to have two young, cheap reserve outfielders on the 25-man roster already, along with a power-hitting, fragile left-handed right fielder—but Edmonds finished last season with an OPS+ of 127, so this isn't strictly a feel-good invite. If he were joining some other team he'd probably have a shot at the big end of a corner-outfield platoon.
Joining this team, he has a chance to push Jon Jay out of a job he's probably earned. But he's Jim Edmonds, he slugged .504 last year—.504! he was 40 and he hadn't played in a year!—and with the Boog and Bombs show off the roster entirely I need somebody around for which I can root completely irrationally. Maybe the Cardinals can trade Jay for Ryan and the rights to sign Albert Pujols to an incredibly expensive five-year contract, and then I can ride off into the sunset forever.

This has been such a weird offseason.
I would not be surprised to find out that the Pujols extension’s AAV is “As much ice cream as Albert can eat”.
To add to the spiraling decent into the 2011 Cards Twilight Zone
Sources are saying the Cubs are “best positioned” to aquire Albert if he doesn’t get a deal done by ST. I hope thats just a ploy to cause more BOB interest in him (as if we need that)

comic sans sucks

I went through that when I first moved here.
I got my first job through Manpower. It ended up lasting 8 months. I don’t need benefits so contracting works well for me. Healthcare is the big employer. Kraft starts everyone out as a production worker and then promotes from within. MSU is harder than heck to get into and they don’t pay well.

by infallibleopiniongenerator on Feb 4, 2011 6:01 PM EST reply actions
Honestly...
I would not be disappointed if he did push Jay off the team. I was not impressed by him at all last year. He was completely a product of luck. Then his luck ran out at the end of the season.
Even if you had never heard of BABIP, you could see he was incredibly lucky just by watching him. It was almost freakish how often his balls found holes.
Granted, his defense was good. But otherwise he is a less talented Skip Schumaker.
And that is actually the only problem with Edmonds taking his place. Who is the CF back up now? Tyler Greene?
but he's cool as the other side of the pillow
would've.
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
he is considerably gangstafied
I was hoping this would become his meme but the judge thing was the low-hanging fruit.
sentimentality aside, i think this is a good signing
as long as TLR uses him appropriately. and if this means jay spends most of the season in AAA, so be it. edmonds is probably the better player and he’s definitely better suited to the bench role

if berkman stays healthy
that’s an absolute maximum
i would have edmonds as a full-time PH and he would play when holliday or pujols needs a day off. if berkman goes down, he could platoon with craig and get in the 250-300 range
You say you wanna stand by my side. Darlin', your head's not right.

My guess is 20 -25 starts,
so about 100 AB’s there, and first bat off the bench for pitcher changes for another 140 – 150. Seems reasonable.

i agree.
it’s really hard to argue with this signing (it’s jim F. edmonds), but it doesn’t really make a whole hell of a lot of sense considering who’s already on the team. we now have three left handed hitting center fielders who all have the same limitations against left handed pitching. one of them won’t make the team.

Other Cardinal signings from today:
Shannon agreed to a three-year extension. He’s entering his 40th season calling Cardinals games and his 54th in the organization. Rooney signed on for five more years, equaling the number of years he’s called the team’s games entering the 2011 season. <…>
Claiborne signed a one-year deal. A long-time fixture in St. Louis radio, this will be his fourth season working for the Cardinals.

I can't see any reason not to have Edmonds on the bench
depending on who has to give up a seat. We’re rich in outfielders (sort of). I’d like to see if he can help Colby out while he’s here, and #400 would be great to see in Cardinal red!

So moving on from my stupid ‘play him against righties comment.’
He would potentially be a great defensive replacement for Berkman in right field late in games, and we wouldn’t lose all that much at the plate.

One fun comment from our frenemies at Bleed Cubbie Blue
I don’t think he intends to retire.
The guy did just hit .276/.342/.504 last year, for an .846 OPS and a 127 OPS+.
I mean… that’s not "done". That’s "better than all of our outfielders were last year".
That’s better than everyone on our team except Soto was last year. And he was dinged up for half the time.
Frankly, when he gets the STL Magic Pixie Dust on him again, I’m anticipating 20 HR and at least one backbreaking extra base hit against us.
I still don’t understand why we were so adamant he had to leave after 2008. He posted a 134 OPS+ for us in ’08, and then the aforementioned 127 last year.
At some point, shouldn’t we wait for some sign of decline before calling it a career for the guy?
