That means this is the last weekend without official St. Louis Cardinals baseball...

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.

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.
