Mark Ellis Comes Off The Yankees Board

In a bit of a head scratcher Mark Ellis has come off the board as the St. Louis Cardinals have signed the 37 tear old second basemen to a one year deal pending a physical. I would think that Ellis would be a part time player in St. Louis which leads me to believe the Yankees were never really all that interested. You would think a guy like Ellis would want playing time but then again maybe he felt like he had a better chance at a ring with the Cardinals, who knows. Omar Infante is a Royal, Robinson Cano is a Mariner, Mark Ellis is a Cardinal, and it looks more and more likely that Kelly Johnson is the Yankees starting second basemen.
