I chat about the Cards Opening Day starting 5. A surprise for sure in Looper. But he earned it. Mulder is expected back by July and then things should change again. But the rotation is decent for now and Dave Duncan has the ability to work magic with his pitchers. So I am not too worried about the pitching for now. More team cuts have been made and the final 25 is getting closer...

A look at the outfield for 2007. It looks similar to the end of last year. We will probably start off the year with Edmonds and Encarnacion on the DL. So, this may give a young buck the opportunity to stay with the club for a couple of weeks. over all a decent outfield but nor a dominating one.

A hodge podge catch up of injury updates on the pitching staff and other Cards players. This is more an awareness thing. No need to panic... yet. Also, the Cards have been playing well this Spring.

The Cards bullpen this year should be better than last year. And it is probably a good thing considering we do not have a solid starting 5. The relief corps stood out in the playoffs and World Series last year and I feel that will help out. Also Looper will end up in the bullpen and if Izzy isn't ready then Wainright will be the main closer. So... the bullpen will be better than last year. This is a good thing...
