Official Press Release: The St. Louis Cardinals have recalled non-roster infielder David Freese from minor league camp where he had been assigned on March 8. Freese, 25, started at third base for the Cardinals yesterday against the Washington Nationals and was 2-for-4 with a double. He is in the starting lineup for today’s game against the Baltimore Orioles.
My take: Though an injured achilles seemed to derail his chances of making the big league club, Joe Mather’s struggles at the plate have opened up another opportunity for Freese. A sure handed defender, Freese could win the starting third baseman job if he is able to consistently handle big league pitching for the remainder of camp.
Check out the interview that I did with David after he was named the Birdhouse’s Minor League Player of the year.
