Cardinals To Sign Ty Wigginton
The Cardinals have agreed to sign utility player Ty Wigginton to a two-year
deal in the $5MM range, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports (Twitter links).
Wigginton, an ACES client with 11 years of MLB experience, will provide the
Cardinals with a versatile right-handed bat. The agreement is pending a
physical.
Wigginton spent the 2012 season with the Phillies, posting a .235/.314/.375
batting line with 11 home runs and 11 doubles in 360 plate appearances. The
35-year-old played first base, third base and left field for the Phillies,
who acquired him from Colorado in a trade following the 2011 season. He had
signed a two-year, $8MM contract with the Rockies covering the 2010-11
seasons. The Phillies declined a $4MM club option on Wigginton in October,
preferring a $500K buyout.
Like Skip Schumaker, who was recently traded by St. Louis to Los Angeles,
Wigginton has considerable experience in the infield and in the outfield.
Unlike Schumaker, he's a right-handed hitter who has a history of success
against left-handed pitching. Wigginton has a career .270/.354/.456 line
against southpaws, including a .234/.360/.411 line against them this past
season.
