I like the Eckstein signing for the Cards. He obviously isn't as good as Renteria but he gives them a lead-off hitter, a guy that will play baseball the right way and a guy that will not make trouble in the lockeroom or in the public.
Still would have preferred they re-sign Edgar but Eckstein should fill in nicely.

Exactly. Eckstein isn't the most talented player around but he's the right fit for the Cards. They have loads of hitting still, and need a guy that can come in play solid D, and get key hits - perfect role for Eckstein.
