The Cardinals have designated righty Josh Lucas and infielder Breyvic Valera, according to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (via Twitter). That’ll open space on the 40-man for the team to select the contracts of reliever Jordan Hicks and catcher Francisco Pena.
Lucas was impressive throughout Spring Training. Other teams should have interest in him.

A trivia question:
Who rejected a $17.2 million contract offered by the Rockies and later signed for $14 million with the Cardinals?

Mets 9 Cardinals 4
Not the ideal way for the Cardinals to start the 2018 season. Carlos walked 6 Mets batters and Bowman got hammered in 1/3 of an inning. Jose Martinez was the bright spot with 3 hits, including a home run.

trivia question to add to the trivia question. What superstar sports agent lost his client money trying to get a multi year megadeal? Scott Boras is a culprit who would fit that description. With Greg Holland, Boras learned that sometimes greed doesn't pay.

The Cardinals placed Brett Cecil on the 10 day DL because of a shoulder strain. Ryan Sherriff will take Cecil's place on the 25 man roster.

The Cardinals have traded Josh Lucas to the Athletics for minor league starting pitcher Casey Meisner. Meisner is tall, stands 6 foot 7 inches.

Anything above a year out of this guy near what Waino has given the Cards would be great

Good games from DeJong, Pham and Ozuna, and about time too. I have all three on my fantasy team. Not quite the start we expected from the Cardinals, especially facing the Mets. Perhaps the Mets are going to be better this year?
