The St. Louis Cardinals complete the Mike Maroth trade
The Cardinals have sent 24 year old righty Chris Lambert to the Tigers to complete the Mike Maroth trade. Lucky the Cardinals didn’t have to trade a real prospect for Maroth as poorly as he pitched for them. He has pitched in 33 games (9 starts) in AA+AAA ball this season and he is 1-6 with a 6.21 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP. He has worked 84 innings in the minors this season and he has allowed 98 hits, 15 homers, walked 37 batters and whiffed 67.
