Cardinals manager Tony La Russa downplayed the importance of Sanders' clubhouse presence.
"No! No!," La Russa said. "What he brings out there (pointing to the field) is what matters. All the other stuff takes care of itself. I mean if he were a real jerk we would still take him. But the fact that he is not helps."
La Russa on Albert Pujols playing full-time at first base: "I believe that Albert will win a gold glove at first base at some point in his career."
Outfielder Jim Edmonds continues to nurse a sore shoulder, but La Russa said team trainers and doctors don't expect him to be out long. "They are talking about Jim being available about the middle of the camp games," La Russa said.
With Drew gone, Edmonds' pussiness is going to come to the fore.
