Player Notes

December 24, 2007
The Phillies signed So Taguchi to a one-year, $1.05 million deal Sunday. The deal includes a club option for 2009, and the 38-year-old can make more in performance bonuses.

December 6, 2007
The Cardinals released So Taguchi Thursday. The move was made to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Brian Barton, who the team took in the Rule 5 draft. Taguchi hit .290 with three homers and 30 RBI in 307 at-bats with the Cards in '07.

November 6, 2007
The Cardinals have declined a $1.1 million option on So Taguchi for next season, instead electing to pay him a $100,000 buyout. "We wanted to give ourselves as many options as we can, and by doing this we maintain a greater degree of flexibility," new GM John Mozeliak told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Which is not to say we couldn't do something down the road. But for right now, this gives us flexibility."

April 7, 2007
So Taguchi received treatment after fouling a ball of his left leg in the eighth inning of Friday's game, the Cardinals official site reports. Taguchi didn't play in Saturday's game. "He's had some swelling where he got bopped," said Tony LaRussa, who said Taguchi could have played Saturday if needed.

January 16, 2007
The Cardinals inked So Taguchi to a one-year deal with a mutual option for 2008, according to Sports Network. He batted .266 in 316 at-bats with the Cards last season.
