Mark DeRosa makes a lot of sense for the Cardinals, who still need a hitter. He's a hitter who can play anywhere. Other teams that could use DeRosa include the Mets, Giants, Braves Cubs and Tigers.
Matt Holliday is still the most likely star to be traded, but his $13.5 million salary could mean that the small-market A's will be asked to contribute if he is traded. Perhaps they'd consider that if the prospects they get in return are excellent. The Braves, Mets, Giants and Cardinals could all be looking to take Holliday.
Albert Pujols, for all his heroics this year, has one hit with a RISP and two outs (1-for-14, with 15 BB and 10 IBB), and as Joel Sherman of the New York Post (and SI.com) pointed out, Mets' youngster Nick Evan passed Pujols with two in two days versus Pujols' Cardinals.
Shortstop Brendan Ryan is a very impressive young player for the Cardinals. Tony La Russa appears to be impressed, too, as he has moved Khalil Greene to third base.
