 Skip Schumaker-2B- CardinalsOct. 18 - 8:42 am et
Skip Schumaker, a former outfielder who was converted last year to a second baseman, hopes to further improve his infield skills this winter.
Skip made great strides at his new position throughout the year and his batting statistics did not take a tumble. But he still has some things to work on. "More flexibility," he said Saturday. "Quickness. Quickness is now a big part of my game. I never thought about quickness before. It was always about running the ball down, and I could do that if I got a bad jump." The Cards have a lot of question marks heading into 2010, but not at second base.

 Julio Lugo-SS - Cardinals Oct. 8 - 3:09 pm et  

Julio Lugo is starting at second base for Game 2 of the NLDS.
Skip Schumaker is out of the lineup as a result, although both Colby Rasmus and Rick Ankiel struggle against left-handers. Lugo, a .248 hitter against southpaws over the past three years, is leading off to start the game.

 Julio Lugo-SS - Cardinals Oct. 8 - 9:02 am et  

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa hinted that Julio Lugo might start at second base in Game 2 against Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw.
It's an out-of-the-box scenario, but Skip Schumaker could take over in center field Thursday for Colby Rasmus or Rick Ankiel, who both struggle against lefties. "I felt like Schu' was a good matchup for [Game 1 starter Randy] Wolf," said the skipper, "and Julio has struggled against Wolf. In fact, quite a few of our guys have. We have a choice to make... we'll see how it goes."

 Skip Schumaker-2B - Cardinals May. 23 - 3:52 pm et

Skip Schumaker was 2-for-5 with a home run in a win over the Royals on Saturday afternoon.
The solo shot in the third was his third of the season. He has three home runs in 68 at-bats this month after zero in 70 at-bats in April. With Brendan Ryan back, we may see more of Schumaker in the outfield.
 Skip Schumaker-2B - Cardinals May. 7 - 5:05 pm et

Skip Schumaker went 3-for-3 with a triple and a walk Thursday against the Pirates.
The slumping Schumaker entered the game at .264/.330/.322 for the season. The Cards seem happy with him at second base, but he doesn't bring a hole lot to the table from a fantasy perspective.
 Skip Schumaker-2B - Cardinals Apr. 8 - 11:47 am et

Albert Pujols thinks converted outfielder Skip Schumaker will eventually excel at second base.
Schumaker made his first error Tuesday night, overthrowing Pujols on a routine ground ball, but the Gold Glove first baseman isn't worried. "I’m not concerned about Skip Schumaker," Pujols said, "because we have one of the best coaches working with him. I can call him the best because I’ve seen guys that come through this organization with bad hands and leave here with Gold Glove hands. That’s what [third base coach and fielding instructor] Jose Oquendo does for this ballclub."
