Cardinals Sign Left Reliever J.C. Romero to One Year Deal

Sports

December 15th, 2011 by Jim Field

ST. LOUIS, Mo., December 15, 2011 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced
today that they have signed left-handed relief pitcher J.C. Romero to a
one-year contract for the upcoming 2012 season.  The 35-year-old
free-agent has 11-plus years of service in the majors with five Major
League clubs.

“Romero is a proven lefty specialist, who has been a valuable bullpen
piece for winning teams throughout his career” said Cardinals’ Senior
Vice President John Mozeliak.  “We felt that it was important to
maintain versatility and depth within our bullpen and we feel that J.C
will be a solid addition.”

During his big-league career, Romero has compiled a 34-28 won-loss mark
with seven saves in 664 games and a 4.07 ERA.  He leads Major League
lefthanders in games pitched from 2002-2011 with 633, while his 517.0
innings pitched during that time span ranks 2nd among lefty relievers.
His .208 opp. BA (177-for-852) against left-handed batters is the lowest
among all Major League lefties (min. 800 AB’s) since 2002, as are his 11
home runs allowed.

Two of Romero’s top seasons came in 2007 and 2008.  With Boston and
Philadelphia in 2007 he pitched a combined 74 games, allowing just 12 ER
over 56.1 IP (1.92 ERA).  In 2008 he pitched in a career high 81 games
for the World Champion Phillies and surrendered just 18 runs over 59.0
IP for a 2.75 ERA.

Romero has made six career postseason appearances, three with the
Minnesota Twins and three with Philadelphia, and he pitched for Puerto
Rico in both the 2006 and 2009 World Baseball Classics.

Romero ended the 2011 season with Colorado after beginning the year with
Philadelphia.  He also saw action in the Washington Nationals and New
York Yankees minor league systems last season.

Sports

December 15th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

The St. Louis Cardinals finalized a two-year, $14-million free agent deal with shortstop Rafael Furcal, a trade deadline pickup who helped them in their run to the World Series title. The deal was completed Wednesday, after the 34-year old Furcal passed a physcial. He gets salaries of $6-million next year, and $7-million in 2013, along with a $1-million signing bonus.

Furcal batted .255 with St. Louis, solidifying the defense along with the leadoff slot. He turned 36 double plays, the most among NL shortstops, in the final two months. The Cardinals moved to retain Furcal, after slugger Albert Pujols signed with the Los Angeles Angels, freeing-up payroll. They had been considering giving prospect Tyler Greene a shot at regular duty.

Cundiff Kicks In to Help Harlan Athletics

Sports

December 14th, 2011 by Jim Field

Harlan Community Athletic Department is pleased to announce and very thankful to former Cyclone Billy Cundiff and his wife Nicole for donating $5000 to the athletic department.  The NFL has a program when a player donates money back to their school, the NFL team and NFL will match up to $5000 also, making the total contribution to Harlan Community of $10,000.

Billy graduated from Harlan Community in 1998 and was an all stater in football and basketball for the Cyclones.

Activities Director Mitch Osborn states, “We are very thankful and appreciate of Billy & Nicole’s donation which after consulting with Billy have decided to apply it towards buying much needed new weight equipment.  This will have the biggest impact on all student athletes and students at HCHS.  Billy had an outstanding athletic career at HCHS and is representing the Harlan Community quite well in the NFL.  We stay in contact with each other and he is always up to date on what is happening at HCHS.”

Coach Curt Bladt states, “Billy always checks in to see how our football season is going and I had the opportunity to watch him play in person in the NFC championship game in Chicago when he was kicking for the New Orleans Saints and last season the entire football coaching staff was able to attend the Raven playoff game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.  Billy provided us with tickets to the game and we had a great time visiting in person after the game.  This donation will really benefit our entire student body.”
