St. Louis Cardinals: Top Ten Free Agent Signings
Celebration at Busch Stadium following the Cardinals’ World Series win (Source: Doug Pensinger/MLB.com).
Honorable Mention:
Lance Berkman – Berkman led this team to a World Series title in 2011 and had a great run with the team that year, unfortunately due to his injuries in 2012 he couldn’t be of much help to the team or to this great list.

Kyle Lohse – Very good signing and renovation by Dave Duncan, could have made this list with a little better postseason career, but it is a strong list that he just couldn’t crack.
Tony Womack – Womack like Sanders was a big reason why the team was so good in 2004.
Woody Williams – Williams was another one that could have made this list. Williams finished his Cardinals’ career 45-22 with a 3.53 ERA (3.82 FIP). But, with only two full years and no great performances to make him stick out, he fell short.
