In Jenifer Langosch's inaugural Inbox as Cardinals beat reporter, she addresses Roy Oswalt's status, the Cards' chances in the NL Central and much more.

Yesterday, I wrote about the announcement from The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum that former St. Louis Cardinals left-handed reliever Rheal Cormier will be among their 2012 inductees. That led to a discussion among some of the readers here as to the best Cardinal ever born in the land up North. Though the players competed in many different eras and of course played different...

How in the world did Dave LaPoint and Ryde Rodriguez end up together? Recently, I posted a series of photos and a recap of the St. Louis Cardinals Legends Camp, held in Jupiter, Fla. two weeks ago. One of the 21 former Cardinals that came back together for fun with each other and with the fans who paid for the opportunity to take the field with them was LaPoint. The now-52-year...

Adam Wainwright is already in Jupiter and he's getting some impressive reviews: "It was only 30 pitches in February before a collection of 20 players and staff on Field 2 behind Roger Dean Stadium.

St. Louis Cardinals president Bill DeWitt III discusses ticket revenues and the first year of dynamic pricing.

The Cardinals loaded up a moving van on Friday morning, filling it to the brim with baseball equipment and personal effects as the club prepares to set up shop in Jupiter, Fla., for Spring Training.

Cards N' Stuff:Wow, that's a tough one...I agree with Bill on Jay - the guy has yet to weather the doldrums of a full season as a starter and has clearly shown he is vulnerable to lengthy and mysterious slumps...and I hear you on David Freese - how can anyone expect him to live up to his postseason mythology before he's even played a full, healthy season? Nowhere to go...

For the first time in his 12-year professional career, Molina walked into Roger Dean Stadium last week knowing Pujols wouldn't be joining him.
