Innings Beats Move In Jeter

Baseball Betting Lines

Sonnanstine has spent his entire five-year career with the Tampa Bay Rays and has made 80 starts, but has been used primarily as a reliever for the past two seasons. Overall, the 28-year-old southpaw is 28-31 with a 5.26 earned run average and one save.

In 2011 Sonnanstine made 15 appearances -- four starts -- with the Rays and posted an 0-2 record with a 5.55 ERA.

CARDINALS SURPRISE RUN TO A WORLD SERIES TITLE CAPS LA RUSSA'S CAREER

From there they took care of the heavily-favored Phillies in five games to move onto the NLCS, where they upended the NL Central-champion Milwaukee Brewers.

After falling behind 3-2 in that set, the Cards were down to their last strike twice in Game 6, but rallied for an extra-inning win to force a seventh game. The Cardinals didn't need any late-inning heroics in that one, though, as series MVP David Freese's two-run double in the first inning set the stage for the team's second title in six years.

Few people get the chance to go out as a winner, but Cardinals manager Tony La Russa did just that, as he announced his retirement from the game a mere two days after the franchise celebrated its 11th World Series title in team history.

As if losing La Russa wasn't enough for the Cardinals, Albert Pujols shocked the baseball world at the conclusion of the Winter Meetings, as he signed a monster 10-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim that will reportedly pay him between $250-260 million. The lucrative deal ended his 11- year run in St. Louis that saw him win three NL MVPs and two World Series titles.

The Angels had been lurking all along in the process, but most assumed that it was a two-team race between the Miami Marlins and Cardinals. Even more felt it was a fait accompli that he would return to St. Louis when Miami refused to give him a no-trade clause through the first five years.

Give the Angels credit. They missed out on almost everyone last winter. They weren't going to let that happen again, and made another big move by signing pitcher C.J. Wilson to a deal worth a reported $77.5 million over five years.

He'll never be mentioned alongside Stan Musial again, that's for sure.
