Freese for Edmonds: Former Wizards Infielder Traded to Cardinals

December 15th, 2007 | Author: Chad Gramling

Several outlets are reporting that former Wizards infielder; David Freese has been traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for center fielder Jim Edmonds.

With the Wizards in 2006, Freese had 204 at-bats in 53 games. He scored 27 runs on 61 hits and 21 walks with 13 doubles, 2 triples and 8 home runs. Freese also collected 43 runs batted and struck out 44 times. His batting average was .299. He spent all of last season at High-A Lake Elsinore and has yet to see time at Double-A or above.

From Geoff over at Ducksnorts,

I actually like Freese quite a bit every time I saw him in ’07, he was pounding the ball to right and right-center. He reminds me of Kouzmanoff, although at age 24, Kouz was dominating the Eastern and International Leagues to an even greater degree than Freese dominated the Cal League last year. The Padres don’t have a great track record with mid-level corner guys Tagg Bozied and Greg Sain come to mind but we’ll see.

Here is a clip of a Freese at-bat while with Lake Elsinore. I found it on YouTube, so I can’t really attribute proper credit.
