roarke - you make a good point; according to the SPD article on Edmond’s release, Cards only assumed $2 million of his salary

A.J. Van Slyke, Luke Gorsett, and Josh Dew have been sent to palm beach.
Tyler Henley and Isaias Garcia are going to Springfield.

Better than free, actually. The Cards were on the hook for $10M to Edmonds and the Padres are paying at least part of that now. So we got a financial savings and a nice prospect out of the deal.

Also, I’m not sure that listing him for San Diego is actually a mistake - BP doesn’t try and keep up with offseason moves when doing their PECOTA projections. The book usually has players listed with the organization they played with the previous year.

I too was confused by the Baseball Prospectus article. Thanks for pointing out the mistakes.

With Edmonds being released by the Padres, that means the Cards essentially got David Freese for free.

Could really see Garcia or Boggs replacing Lohse when Mo swings him for a prospect at the deadline.

Garcia is looking like Tony and Dave’s kind of pitcher. Let’s say he puts up another two months of solid pitching at AAA, does anything think he gets the call if an injury or spot started happened?
