CARDINALS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Who should start for St. Louis in Garcia’s spot?
With Jaime Garcia’s shoulder pushing him onto the disabled list, the St. Louis Cardinals do not have a starting pitcher for their series finale in San Diego on Wednesday night, May 22.
With its top-ranked farm system strongest in pitching in and close to the majors, the problem is located in the organization’s most optimal area to try to address. While there are various options...
Cardinals' Jaime Garcia placed on the DL
The St. Louis Cardinals are dealing with yet another injured pitcher. Jaime Garcia was placed on the 15-day disabled list yesterday. The 26-year old pitcher has suffered a shoulder strain, and he and the team are concerned the injury could be even more significant than originally thought.
According to Jennifer Langosch of MLB.com, there is a possibility that Garcia may need...
Shoulder issues plague Jaime Garcia again. Will Michael Wacha get the call?
Perhaps the Cardinals could use Chris Carpenter in the rotation after all?
Just when you thought the Cardinals pitching staff was chugging along and nothing could stop them, they lose two pitchers in less than a week.
Nearly a week after placing Jake Westbrook on the DL with elbow inflamation, Jaime Garcia was put on the DL today with a left shoulder impingment. Mitchell Boggs...
Cardinals place lefty Garcia on DL
The St. Louis Cardinals have placed left-hander Jaime Garcia on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain.
General manager John Mozeliak says the team became aware of the issue about a week ago and had hoped Garcia could work through it. He was charged with six runs and six hits over 5 1/3 innings in a 7-6 victory over Milwaukee on Friday, improving to 5-2 while his ERA...

Grand slam brings relief to Cardinals' Freese
ST. LOUIS David Freese has heard from pretty much everyone.
That's how it works when you're the local kid playing for the hometown team. When your swing is sweet, the attention is great. When you're stuck the stinkiest stretch of hitting you've ever had, it can be a little much.
"There are so many people trying to help me," Freese said.
Whether it comes...

Chris Carpenter hoping to return as a starter for Cardinals
Chris Carpenter is preparing himself as if he will be a starting pitcher should he return to the St. Louis Cardinals. Carpenter has not played this year after experiencing nerve irrational prior to the start of Spring Training.
On Wednesday the former Cy Young winner threw roughly 30 pitches after throwing double that on Monday. He will throw again on Saturday.
“It was almost...
St. Louis Cardinals records through May 15

Rookie pitchers are owning the spotlight in St. Louis
ST. LOUIS Randy Choate has pitched for seven teams in his 13-year career. The 37-year-old reliever is the oldest player on the St. Louis Cardinals' active roster, which means he's got a lot of wisdom to share with newcomers.But this season, on this team, few have needed it.
"I think you have to tell them more when they look like they start to get overwhelmed,"...

Who will be sent down when Mitchell Boggs returns for the Cardinals?
From all appearances, Mitchell Boggs' stay in the minors will not be a long one. Sent down on May 3rd to work on his mechanics (and get his confidence back), Boggs seems to be doing just that. So far he has pitched 5 innings without allowing a run.
Thus, it probably won't be long before the Cardinals call on him again. He's just too good of a pitcher to leave in...
Gast stays cool under pressure in Major League debut
ST. LOUIS If you expected the rookie to show something, anything, you just don't know him very well.
"That's the kind of guy he is," Cardinals infielder Matt Carpenter said. "We've had some experience with him at Spring Training. And just kind of getting to know him personally I mean, he's a very cool, calm, collected kind of guy."
So cool...

The Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings
Welcome to the first edition of the Fab Five: MLB Power Rankings. Realizing that most of the other websites or publications are into their sixth or seventh week of their power rankings, I have always felt that these rankings are most accurate when done after every team has gotten at least 30 games on the books.
John Gast gets the call for the Cardinals
The reason the St. Louis Cardinals have the best record in baseball is that their starting pitching has been dominant. They've posted a major league best 2.11 ERA, with their worst starter posting a 2.72 ERA. But that rotation took a hit today when Jake Westbrook was sent to the 15-day DL with a sore elbow.
The good news is that the Cards have a AAA pitcher who has equaled...
