Transaction Oracle— A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen

Cardinals - Signed Grudz
St. Louis Cardinals - Signed 2B Mark Grudzielanek to a 1-year contract worth $1 million.
Grudz also gets another 500k in performance incentives. Based on what’s left, this is a good deal for the Cubs. A poor defensive shortstop, Grudzielanek became a decent-to-good defensive player upon being moved to 2nd a few years ago and is a contributor in that role. They’re still messing around with Roberto Alomar for some strange reason, so it remains to be seen if Grudz is a starter, in a platoon in which he will be the one not whining, or watching a done 2B play while he is the 5th infielder.

1. Dan The Mediocre Posted: January 09, 2005 at 07:06 PM (#1067466)Of course, if Dusty is still managing the North Siders in about 3 years, Grudz will be back.
I'd guess Todd Walker may have played a role in decision-making, both for Grudz and for the Cubs. Besides, with a name like Grudzielanek, you know he'll wilt under the hot Wrigley sun.
Nitpick police: You mean Cardinals, unless you mean that the loss of Grudz is a good deal for the Cubs, which is arguably true as well.
GRUDZ CRUSHES RIGHTIES, WHICH IS NICE IN THE NL CENTRAL!!!
ALOMAR OR SOMEONE ELSE WILL GET AB'S VS. LEFTIES!!!
WHY DUSTY GAVE GRUDZ 80 AB'S VS. LEFTIES LAST YEAR IS BEYOND ME!!!
If he hits .300, you'll be happy. If he hits .260, I'll be happy. If I were a betting man, I put him closer to .260. After all, Dusty's not around to help drag odd production out of pointless veterans in St. Louis.
Eckstein?
Now that I look at it, OBP-wise, it could be better than last year. That's pretty cool.
