Boggs: I can compete with anybody
ST. LOUIS Mitchell Boggs is talking a pretty strong game. Hell get a chance to start backing it up in less than two weeks.

Oswalt Is Unlikely To Return To Philly
According to Jim Salisbury of CSN Philly, the report that suggested the Phillies were still in the running for Roy Oswalt may have just meant that Oswalt's agent is hoping for a reunion of some sort. Salisbury says that it's doubtful that the righty stays in Philly.

It was a bit more obvious.
"That I was going to be playing first," Berkman said of his initial reaction.

Cardinals Don’t Need Oswalt, But It Would Be Nice To Have Him
The St. Louis Cardinals technically have a full pitching staff that includes five starting pitchers with a combined eight World Series championship rings, but they still might trade one of them for a pitcher who has no rings.
Rumors continue to swirl that the Cardinals will add Roy Oswalt to the rotation before the season begins. Oswalt, 34, has said he wants to remain a starting...

Cards prospect Miller not shy on expectations
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.

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.
