Excel makes everyone a genius.

I would rather see Ludwick in right over Schumaker, but that leaves a hole in the leadoff spot, unless Kennedy, Izturis, or perhaps Ryan could develop into a leadoff hitter.....not too many options there....

If we are breaking camp in a month - Reyes is not only on the team but our 4th starter - We have no 5th Starter.


Does anyone have an idea on Clements time table.

[Schwahalala]

Okay here are the Cardinals Pitcher Return Time Lines as of now.

Clement - April
Mulder - May
Carpenter - August

No firm dates in any of these situations - To be safe I will go with the 20th of each month.

[Schwahalala]

The Cardinals will not be able to get by with 4 starters unless they have a rain out every 5th day - they are pretty much scheduled everyday for the first month and a half (they have 2 days off).

Barring injury -

25 man roster

Pujols
Molina
Kennedy
Isturiz
Glaus
Duncan
Ankiel
Ludwig
Barton
Schumaker
Ryan
Miles
LaRue

Wains
Looper
Pinero
Reyes
Thompson
Wellmeyer
Franklin
Springer
Flores
Johnson
Izzy

That's 24 -

The 25th guy will be a filler until Clement gets back - maybe Rasmus to get a taste.
