It's not every sports blogger that would lay down a 5 word alliteration like that for you but, here at YourSportsFix, that's just how we roll.

Anyway, as the title suggests, there are rumblings that the Cardinals are close to a deal with yet another rehab project, Matt Clement. The source of this rumor appears to be the Belleville News Democrat (across the river from St. Louis) but I also need to give a hat tip to  Tim Dierkes over at mlbtraderumors.com.

Being a Cardinal fan, I can tell you that there are a lot of Redbird faithful that are getting sick of these types of signings. The Cardinals obviously need pitching but it's been a while since Dave Duncan orchestrated a Woody Williams-esque turn around and the most recent project (Kip Wells) is fresh on fans' minds.

Other reports out of St. Louis have the Cardinals looking at former Angel ace, Bartolo Colon. The aging pitcher would likely be a one year stop-gap until Mark Mulder and/or Chris Carpenter return from injury but you can pretty much just go back and re-read the last paragraph for my take on this rumor.
