"According to "Inside Redbirds" on station WHBQ, John Gall is on his way to St. Louis. Gall has been one of the Cardinals' hot prospects in the past, but has been consistently passed over for promotion. This apparently means that Admin Walker will be heading to the 15-day DL, joining fellow starters Yadier Molina, Scott Rolen, and Reggie Sanders. Gall is 27 years old and was hitting .277 with 10 HR in Memphis."

 

The Memphis Redbirds are back. C Mike Mahoney is up, INF/OF Hector Luna is up, 3B Scott Seabol is up, OF John Rodriguez is up, OF John Gall is up.

 

How things have changed:

 

Mike Matheny to Yadier Molina to Mike Mahoney

Scott Rolen to Scott Seabol

Reggie Sanders to John Rodriguez

Admin Walker to John Gall.

 

Never would thought of that if you ask me but then again everyone is injured basically so here's our lovely team now as Rolen, Walker, Sanders, Molina are on the DL and Pujols is hurt aswell as Rodriguez nursing a sprained ankle and Edmonds still feeling the affects of the collision with Sanders.

 

:lol

Cardinals to place Walker on DL

 

 

The Cardinals' most likely plan will be to place Admin Walker in the 15-day DL. (Scott Rovak/Cardinals)

 

John Gall's almost interminable wait is almost over. Admin Walker is probably about to begin a much shorter, but likely no less frustrating, wait of his own.

 

Gall, who has been playing in the high Minors for the Cardinals since 2002, is expected to be added to the Major League roster on Tuesday when St. Louis takes on the Padres at PETCO Park. Gall will likely be recalled to take the place of Walker, who would be placed on the disabled list due to a herniated disk in his neck.

 

Gall was scheduled to travel with the team to California on Monday, though no move will officially be made until Tuesday because of the off-day in the schedule. Walker has been battling soreness in his neck all season, and he has already undergone two cortisone injections to ease the discomfort.

 

It is possible that St. Louis will make another move, sending out another player in order to add Gall to the roster, while trying to buy some time and avoiding sidelining Walker for 15 days. However, the most likely plan will be to place Walker on the DL, allowing him to recuperate, and add Gall to the roster.

 

Walker struggled through May and much of June as he battled a series of maladies. However, after the last cortisone treatment in his neck, he took off on his best offensive stretch of the season. He's hitting .340 with a .415 on-base percentage and .553 slugging percentage in July, but he sat out the last two games of St. Louis's weekend series against the Cubs.

 

Should Walker go on the DL, he would become the fourth Cardinals regular on the shelf. Yadier Molina has been out since early July with a broken bone in his hand, Reggie Sanders has a broken leg and will be out for at least three more weeks and Scott Rolen was recently placed back on the DL due to continuing soreness in his left shoulder.

 

Gall, 27, has spent most of the last 2 1/2 seasons at Triple-A Memphis. He's a polished, line-drive hitter with solid strike zone judgment. He doesn't have outstanding power, but has a plan at the plate. The Cardinals have asked him to improve his defense in the outfield, and most reports are that he has made progress. As of Monday morning, he was batting .270/.339/.438 (batting average/on-base/slugging) with 10 home runs, 17 doubles and 47 RBIs for Memphis.

Does everything you talk about HAVE to be about the Cardinals? Seriously, its getting old.

He has the right to post what he wants. This IS the MLB forum, and his post was on-topic.

Sorry if that's only what I post about and it may seem like that.. I was just making a post about the injuries and if your a team that has the Cards scheduled soon you can take advantage of the Cards. Sorry :bangdesk I thought this was baseball news? :confused

i think its pretty impressive he takes his time to post cardinals news on a marlins message board. as a baseball fan im always looking for info on other markets and teams.

 

thanks for the info!

 

its a shame the amount of injuries the cardinals have. what blows my mind is how much they still dominate. with all those injuries the only 2 people that scare me in that lineup are jim edmonds and pujols.
