ST. LOUIS - Confident that this will be the year he reaches the big leagues, Cardinals prospect Shelby Miller took time on the recent Cardinals Caravan to ask David Freese and Jaime Garcia an important question.
When I do get to the big leagues, what do I wear? Miller recalled. Because I dont want to look like a fool when I go in there, like wearing flip flops and all the big league...

Yesterday in this space, this author wrote that Roy Oswalt had earned the right to limit his market choices and to stick to his price in negotiations as a free agent. The piece was a counterpoint to another writer who stated that Oswalt "had too big a head" and can move along from the St. Louis Cardinals' feeding trough. The point was also made that Oswalt is well worth...

Hall of Famer Red Schoendienst has done it all for the St. Louis Cardinals – All-Star player, World Champion manager and now sage adviser to the scores who followed.
Making his St. Louis debut in 1945, the switch-hitting second baseman played 15 seasons with the Cardinals, including in the 1946 World Series. The 10-time National League All-Star also appeared in two more Series...

Much like last season, the St. Louis Cardinals will enter spring training with a little bit of uncertainty, but for the most part the team should feel comfortable and confident. The Cardinals are, after all, the World Series champions. They currently have seven viable options for the starting rotation (if you include Kyle McClellan and Marc Rzepczynski) and could still land Roy Oswalt...

According to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports, the Red Sox, Reds, and Phillies all remain in the running for Roy Oswalt. Oswalt is scrambling to find a new home with only two weeks before the start of spring workouts.
Oswalt's top choices are the Rangers and the Cardinals, but both have financial limitations.
Oswalt had a positive experience in Philadelphia, where he went 16-11...

Kevin Goldstein from Baseball Prospectus tweeted today that the Pirates signed left-handed reliever Brian Tallet. Tallet’s deal is a minor league contract and does not yet include an invite to spring training (Major League camp).
After hearing that an invite to camp doesn’t go along with this signing, I think it is safe to say that Tallet will be starting off the year...

A potential option to join the 2012 edition of the St. Louis Cardinals was taken off the board yesterday, and this time it was an already familiar face. Edwin Jackson joined the Washington Nationals about midway through the afternoon, ending an interesting foray into free agency.
Jackson, who entered the winter as one of the bigger names on the pitching market, remained homeless...

Edwin Jackson to the Nats it is, according to Jon Heyman, and it sounds like he’s getting a one-year deal. Didn’t see that one coming.
For those unfamiliar with Jackson, he’s a solid starter who averaged about 200 innings and a 4.00 ERA over the past four seasons with the Rays, Tigers, Diamondbacks, White Sox and Cardinals. He’s 28 years old and strikes out...

The Bucs signed veteran lefty Brian Tallet today. The 34 year-old has suffered through injuries and a couple of poor seasons recently, so I would assume that it’s a minor league deal.
Tallet has been reasonably effective against lefties, so he’ll probably join Daniel Moskos and Doug Slaten in the group that will be fighting for a second lefty bullpen slot behind Tony...

The Giants are the NFL's 2011 St. Louis Cardinals: a rather
ordinary team, prematurely counted out, only to launch a magical
comeback.
