Amaury Marti is currently hitting .424/.509/.633 in 39 games for the Mexican Red Devils of the Mexican League, also known as Liga de Amaury Cazana. Bud Selig ordered the Cardinals to banish him to there, in fear of the major leagues losing competitive balance.
Amaury also refuses to accept the watch curse. He has the power to curse, and the power to bless.

(erik’s got the full report from yesterday.)
So, I don’t plan on making the 4-hour drive from my home in Southern Illinois to the Quad Cities very often, but I had a blast on Sunday as I watched the first game of the doubleheader. I had to leave after the 2nd inning of the 2nd [...]

He hit .299/.337/.420 in 188 at bats for QC. [...]

In a bizarre and somewhat unexpected move, Anthony Reyes was sent to Memphis with Troy Cate getting the call up. The move puts Todd Wellemeyer in the rotation. Duncan, you have now officially fallen in love with your own genius and clearly lost your mind. Reyes is likely to go down, be his own pitching [...]
