As we have entered the final few weeks before the long winter ends and spring training begins, soon we will have real on-the-field baseball news about which to report. St. Louis Cardinals pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report to Jupiter, Fla. on February 18 and conduct their first workout on February 19. The remainder of the players are expected to report by February 23 with their first workout on February 24. In the meantime, I thought I would post a short survey to gauge your opinion on which recent St. Louis Cardinals-related topic has been beaten most to death in recent months, not just here, but by the media and fans in general.

Red Schoendienst celebrates his 89th birthday

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.

Cardinals' health challenges a concern

I'm worried about the St. Louis Cardinals -- and not just because they've lost first baseman Albert Pujols, manager Tony La Russa and, at least for the time being, pitching coach Dave Duncan. Those departures alone are enough to give one pause about the defending World Series champions, but my concern runs deeper. This is a physically fragile club. Free-agent right-hander...

Player Profile #91: Adam Wainwright | SP | STL

At this time last year there were many people, myself included, touting Adam Wainwright as a top five starting pitcher and maybe the best pitcher overall. But that all changed when Wainwright walked off the mound one fateful February day last spring and baseball fans, Jonny Gomes aside, heard the two words they hate the most…Tommy. John. The good news, though, is that Tommy...

Ship McClellan To The Padres

It does seem odd that the St. Louis Cardinals are willing to send do-everything pitcher Kyle McClellan somewhere else.  He’s a local boy.  He moved through the ranks as a starting pitcher but willingly switched to the bullpen to help the big club, becoming a dependable late-innings guy.  Last season, after Adam Wainwright went down, he willingly switched back to the rotation...
