The Saint Louis Cardinals have signed free-agent infielder Mark Ellis to a one-year contract for the upcoming 2014 season.  He has a lifetime .265 batting mark with 105 home runs and 538 R.B.I.s in 1,362 games.  He will likely take over 2nd base and Matt Carpenter will take over 3rd base with the departure of David Freese.

 

The Nashville Hornets have their make-up game against Anna-Jonesboro tonight, the first home game of the year, beginning at 7:45.  The Nashville Hornettes are also in action tonight, in Carterville.  That game will be on tape delay after the boys get done.  Both games will be on the V and v1047.com.
