Cardinals release Taguchi
I always really liked Taguchi...one of, if not my favorite Redbirds. Definitely rocking my Taguchi jersey anyway next season.

Report: Cards release Taguchi to open spot for Rule 5 draft pick
Source
Outfielder So Taguchi has been released by the St. Louis Cardinals after six seasons with the team, according to MLB.com.
By cutting the 38-year-old Taguchi, the Cardinals made room on their 40-man roster to allow them to make a selection in Thursday's Rule 5 draft at the winter meetings in Nashville.
Taguchi, who signed with the Cards before the 2002 season after a successful career in Japan, established himself as a valuable member of the club in 2004 when he appeared in 109 games.
In parts of six seasons with the Cardinals, Taguchi batted .283 with a .336 on-base percentage and became a fan favorite for his hustling style and performance in the 2006 postseason.
Taguchi, not noted for power hitting, struck a tie-breaking home run in Game 2 of the 2006 National League Championship Series -- a solo shot off Billy Wagner in the ninth inning that began a three-run rally in the Cardinals' 9-6 win.
St. Louis went on to win the NLCS in seven games and beat the Detroit Tigers in the World Series.

I'm confused.
I just laughed out loud after reading this thread.
But someone said all the people that make this place cool were gone.
WTF?

No, I don't really care about the arguments. I'm just saying...does it need to be in seemingly every thread? I like everyone here, I'm not pointing fingers at anyone.
