Holliday, Cards ready to fill void left by Pujols

Via Fox Sports Midwest  |  February 13, 2012
ST. LOUIS Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday doesn't plan on forfeiting the upcoming season just because three-time MVP Albert Pujols decided to leave for the Los Angeles Angels in the offseason. As the Cardinals look to defend their World Series Championship, Holliday knows he and the rest of the team will just have to do a little bit more to make up for the nine-time All...

Will Jake Westbrook Slide

Via i70baseball  |  February 13, 2012
The St. Louis Cardinals got Jake Westbrook at the 2010 trade deadline, and he performed well enough down the stretch to earn a 2-year contract with a mutual option on a third year.  Last season he did not perform like the 2010 stretch Westbrook, though to be fair he did pitch to his career averages.  What do we want to to see from Jake in 2012?  More 2010 Westbrook, and less 2011...

The Roy Oswalt Situation

Et Tu, Molina? (Pars Duo)

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  February 12, 2012
A few years ago I wrote a cautionary piece foretelling the eventual departure of one Yadier Molina — SUPREME JEFFY MANCRUSH — if the Cardinals somehow didn’t resign Albert Pujols to a long, career stabilizing contract. I wrote it flippantly, thinking this will never happen in real life. And then real life hit. Albert Pujols is gone and Yadi doesn’t seem to...

Fewer Cardinals spring training telecasts in 2012

Via The Cardinal Nation blog  |  February 13, 2012
Apparently, other television networks across the Major League Baseball landscape – whether regional or national – are not particularly interested in seeing the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals this spring. In spring training broadcast schedules posted at MLB.com, only two of the Cardinals’ eight spring opponents will be televising even one Florida contest with St...

St. Louis Cardinals Set To Travel East Bound And Down To Florida

Via i70baseball  |  February 12, 2012
To paraphrase Smokey and the Bandit, the St. Louis Cardinals loaded up their truck Friday because they’ve got a run to make.  That trip will take the Cardinals to Jupiter, Fla., to begin Spring Training 2012 and kick off the six-week journey to Opening Day April 5 in Miami against the Marlins.  That means this is the last weekend without official St. Louis Cardinals baseball...

Ira is not just Mrs. Bill DeWitt III

Via The Cardinal Nation blog  |  February 12, 2012
Over on the main site, TheCardinalNation.com, I have been running a four-part series of articles for subscribers recapping remarks from the president of the St. Louis Cardinals, Bill DeWitt III, as they relate to various aspects of the team’s finances. It is not surprising that the son of the club’s principal owner and chairman totes a Harvard MBA in his educational kit bag....

Yadier Molina: He’s No Pujols

Via i70baseball  |  February 13, 2012
BREAKING NEWS: Yadier Molina is not Albert Pujols.  The catcher for the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals is entering the final year of his current contract, and, unless extended will become a free agent once the upcoming season ends.  And that’s about where the similarities between the redbirds’ catcher, and their former first baseman end. Molina, 29, has garnered some attention...

Miller to contend for a spot in the Cardinals rotation

Via The Capital Sports Report  |  February 11, 2012
By Anthony Caruso III The Capital Sports Report Owner/Managing Editor/Sr. Writer Shelby Miller is expected to contend for the St. Louis Cardinals rotation. Miller is a highly-regarded top prospect in baseball. He spent last season at Single-A Palm Beach and Double-A Springfield. He went 2-3 in 53 innings with a 2.88 ERA with Palm Beach. He went 9-3 in 86.2 innings with a 2.70 ERA...

Why the Adam Wainwright Pun Will Not Go Away

Via JoeSportsFan  |  February 10, 2012
In the sports world, if an athlete’s name is to be permanently associated with a cheesy pun, it needs constant media stroking to mature. Toss out the snappy phrase every time it’s even moderately appropriate and watch the minions start lining up to be part of the “in crowd”.  How do you think Chris Berman [...]

New look, new faces, new year at MLB spring training

Via Post-Gazette  |  February 12, 2012
Just 106 days after the surprising St. Louis Cardinals won the World Series, baseball returns this weekend when pitchers and catchers for the Seattle Mariners report to spring training in Peoria, Ariz. There's been a whole lot of change since the Texas Rangers' David Murphy flied out to Allen Craig for the final out of 2011. Tony La Russa is gone. Bobby Valentine is back.
