FORGET 2ND BASEMAN MARK ELLIS... HE'S OFF THE TABLE

I had just mentioned that the Yankees should consider Mark Ellis instead of someone like Darwin Barney.  Read THE YANKEES MAY BE GOING AFTER BARNEY....

Well, quick note... Mark Ellis is off the table signing a 1 year deal with the St. Louis Cardinals.  According to Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch... the deal will be official this week:

#Cardinals nearing a one-year agreement with Mark Ellis. Deal could be finalized and announced early this week. #stlcards
