Last One of the Week

I believe winter will finally hit southern Illinois this weekend.  Right now there is a storm warning calling for 7-9 inches of snow to start falling later tonight into Sunday morning.  It has been over 3 years since we have had a snow fall of 3 inches or more.  With that being said, I doubt the mail will be delivered for a day or two.  I did get another package earlier this week from TCDB member jimetal7212 that will keep me busy for a little while this weekend.

Jefferies had 2 good years in St. Louis in 1993 and 1994.  He made the All-Star team in 1994, but left after that year to join the Phillies.  The back of this 1995 Diamond Kings card highlights his short tenure with the Cardinals.

I love me some early 1990s minor league cards.  1992 Skybox produced sets for AA and AAA teams.  These are my first from the AA set.  I only have 1 from the AAA set.  I doubt they are worth much, so maybe I will be able to track they rest of them down.

Here are two players that may not see much time in the Cardinals 2019 outfield.  I am surprised Martinez has not been traded yet.  He has a good bat, but can't play anywhere on the field.  Once the Cardinals traded for Paul Goldschmidt, he lost his hiding spot at first.  Fowler had about as horrible a season as you can imagine last year.  The Cardinals are on the hook for 3 more years at $16.5 million per year.  Pretty hard to trade that contract without eating most of it, so the Cardinals have said he will have a shot to start in right field.  I would prefer to see Tyler O'Neill start, but maybe I will be wrong and Barry Bonds has fixed Fowler's swing.  Time will tell.
