Cards are trying to find a spark any way they can. Phelps has been on a tear since the break but do the Cards need another bat? or better pitching? The 30 yr old is playing for his 5th team.Cardinals purchased the contract of first baseman Josh Phelps from Triple-A Memphis.
Phelps got off to a disappointing start this year, but his OPS was up to 941 at Memphis. He was hitting .316/.390/.735 with 15 homers in 136 at-bats since the All-Star break. The Cardinals will try him as a pinch-hitter.
