Yeah, it does seem strange but he's worn a variety of uniforms. It's amazing how one can be unemployed and still make $8 million in 2008. He also got nearly $300,000 to play for the Cubbies. So he'll end up making $8.4 million and been unemployed (not signed), fired, and playing for 2 teams all in one season.

Wassup AH - I agree on Edmonds with the relationships in St. Louis. It seems that most players always brag that St. Louis has the best fans and also great teammates.

Now the positive note for Jimmy is he left a losing team for a team that has come from the cellar and now leads the NL Central!

The bad thing though for him in Chicago is - he'll never have those above (past) the wall homerun steals because there is fencing up there.

and in my opinion,rick ankiel,is just a younger version of edmonds and is gonna give us just as many thrills as jim did,maybe more
good luck jimmy and GO CARDS

I agree...Rick Ankiel is doing an amazing job. He pulled one of those amazing over the wall in Center, homerun stealing grabs on Wednesday night! Awesome!!

There is no doubt in my mind, Legolas, that Jimmy will get a standing O here in St. Louis. And, I agree that Ankiel is awesome.

I just don't think Jimmy has that much playing time left in him though. His best years are long gone.

Oh there'll be boos because he's a Cub and some Cards' fans didn't like him. The guy is making nearly $8.3 million this year (Cards/Padres/Cubs budgets) and if he reaches the .250 or so BA mark he'll retire with finesse.

You hate to see someone go downhill when it's near their retirement age such as Edmonds or Izzy. I think overall he'll have lots of cheers. I remember back when Bonds came to St. Louis he was booed by many - so having "class" does pay off.

I was shock to hear that...That makes me so mad, The best baseball players seem like there going to another team then what, we'll have new players from where?? He doesn't need to be in Chicago he needs to be in STL...now its going to be a big revial between Cards vs. Cubs
don't u think MLB has gotten out of hand??

You know im not being mean. But i keep telling my Self Sense Edmonds went to the Stinky Cubs. I wanted Edmomds to do Horrible And How i am Mad at him. Because he could of said no. But i can't hate him because he's on a BAD team. Im my heart to me he is still a Cardinal.

edmonds could have retired a cardinal if he didn't want to play anymore,but he does,so he left,can't blame him or the cardinals for the turn out,i am sure he saw it coming.as the saying goes,out with the old and in with the new
good luck jimmy and go cards
