One season ago, the Cardinals desperately needed a middle-of-the-order bat if they hoped to make it back to the playoffs. General manager John Mozeliak delivered Matt Holliday. With injuries and ineffectiveness wiping out the back of the starting rotation this July, Mozeliak reached onto the Major League trading block and plucked Jake Westbrook.
In urgent need of a glove that can help stabilize a position in flux, the St. Louis Cardinals landed veteran Pedro Feliz in trade with the Houston Astros on Thursday morning.
The Cardinals bolstered their depth at third base Thursday, acquiring infielder Pedro Feliz from the Houston Astros in exchange for minor league pitcher David Carpenter.
Cardinals backup catcher Jason LaRue will miss at least the rest of the regular season with a concussion suffered during a bench-clearing brawl between the Cardinals and Reds last week in Cincinnati.
