Damnit, the idea is to take the wheel out of Dusty's hands. Let's hope this is a Jacque Jones-esque signing.
To fill in space, here's a classy poem:
There once was a man from NantucketWho kept all his cash in a bucket.But his daughter, named Nan,Ran away with a manAnd as for the bucket, Nantucket....
Please finish the poem for my childish pleasure.
Damn, still too short. How about now?

He’d probably delete this. It should be a FanShot™. :-)
I like Miggy. I admit I haven’t seen him play much since the Yanks cut him, but I remember him as a good defender, an excellent baserunner (the best on the team, according to Bowa), and a clutch hitter (“the best .230 hitter in the league”).
Unless his skills have eroded massively (quite possible at his age), I wouldn’t mind seeing him make the roster. We need a backup infielder. Miggy can play all infield positions, including catcher. I’d rather have him than Rosales.

Yeah, but
Jay Bruce is the best .230 hitter in this league!

did play some corner OFer for the Yanks, but he’s no Jay Bruce.

Cairo is definitely making this team
This is a prototypical Walt Jocketty move. The Cardinals roster used to be full of this garbage, including Miguel Cairo himself. Why we didn’t just keep Ray Olmedo once upon a time I’ll never know.
by Brian B on Jan 27, 2010 8:57 PM EST via mobile reply actions
if he makes the team
it will be as a utility infielder. I don’t mind “veteran presence” for that kind of role. The young guys need to play every day, if not in Cincinnati then in Louisville.

yes
Drew Sutton isn’t really a shortstop. His natural position is 2B.
I mentioned this yesterday: that the Reds needed to get someone who could back up Janish. Rosales and Sutton can handle 2B and 3B, but neither is adequate at SS. Cairo is.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Miguel Cairo isn't a SS either
Sheldon tweeted that in 1200 some games he’s played less than 50 at SS. Plus he’s old. And he can’t hit.
I’d take Rosie or Sutton over him.

I think that's just how it worked out
Because he’s more or less been a backup all his career.
He plays shortstop well. I don’t think that’s true of Rosales and Sutton.

Why? good teams are a mix of veterans and young 'ins
Veterans know a mental approach to the game.
Besides, I’d say the chances of Cairo making the team are less than 50%.

I looked at his CHONE and Marcel predictions on Fangraphs, and was underwhelmed.
However, his graphs suggest he isn’t getting worse in his dotage. He’s always sucked. So, he’s got that going for him.

the BB% and BB/K took a dive last year
Other than that, he’s about as good as you can expect a career utility guy to be.
It’s his defense I was wondering about. If shortstops peak in their early to mid-20s, he’s way past his sell-by date.
He looks really awkward on the field, but somehow, he gets to the balls. (Of course, he may be benefiting in my memory by comparison with Jeter.)

What about a man who lays down with a man 7 times?
Is the 7th time exempt?

No, but it is free if you've remembered to have your card stamped the six times before

I think your first five times are exempt.
But once you’ve got six – condemned is condemned – you may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
IAN! I'm on traain!
I believe in the notion
that you’re not gay if you have on dick a year. So, this year I had one in December, and another one real quick in January. Still not gay.

And does it matter if it’s a boy or girl sheep?

Well this doesn't go into the Bibical l admonitions, but I seem to remember something in Revelations about having to have the sheep's consensus
