That should work out to a 1.29 WHIP, 3.17BB/9IP and 6.35K/9IP which is a slight upgrade from last season, the ERA is the biggest improvement which I expect to come from him controlling runners on situations better.  Add in more run support and I think the record is also very realistic, and could be better but I couldn't bring myself to predict him with a winning record after last year.

GO CARDS!!!

Not sold on the bounce back. I'd rather start him in AAA and hope he does anything usefull to help his trade value. But I know with the sad state of our starters he will get a chance, even with a so so spring. I hope I'm wrong but I think he could kill any trade value he has before the all-star break.

i believe reyes will be the first to go down to AAA once clement, mulder or carp gets back, granted i think one of them will go to the bullpen when they're called up from the DL like what the cards did with morris years ago.

Will Leitch signed my "God Save The Fan" book:
"Have faith in Reyes"

That's gotta count for something.

I'm going for the middle ground -- enough improvement that LaDunc feels comfortable with him out there but not enough that he avoids a trip or two down to Memphis.

here's to hoping i'm wrong.

In addition I predict that Anthony will in fact "bend that frigin bill" and this event alone will mark the beginning of an impressive turn-around.  I see this happening somewhere around late May to early June..

My gut says he won't be in the rotation for the full season.  I don't have any logical reason why not really, I just don't feel it.  However, when he does pitch, I figure he'll do ok.  I think his problems are mechanical, probably caused by confidence issues.  Hopefully he kicks ass this spring and puts it all behind him.

"JUPITER, Fla. -- Cardinals outfielder Brian Barton left the spring training facility Tuesday morning to have his right knee checked out after experiencing soreness in the joint for several days.

Manager Tony La Russa said the Rule 5 pick has felt "restricted."

Barton had surgery on the knee after last season to repair a chronic clicking and discomfort in the joint. The surgery, as described in an earlier blog entry, was what Barton called "lateral release", which is a procedure that stops the patella from rubbing against the femur. Barton said he also had some cartilage damage in the knee and that a bone bruise or small fracture had developed."

Ugh. I knew Barton had microfracture surgery on the knee joint (I'm pretty sure about this), but we hadn't heard about the "lateral release." I hate this surgery.  It completely changes the mechanics of the patellofemoral complex.  Microfracture surgery is serious shit in and of itself.

This has me very concerned about his short- and long-term prospects.

"Colby Rasmus hit a home run in the coach-pitch game. ... I would love to have info up on the game and some other tidbits, but the blogs are down. Forums, too. So Brendan Ryan had two nice defensive plays, according to MLB.com's Matthew Leach. Rasmus cracked the homer. And the game ended with Amaury Marti tracking down a fly ball at the wall, a fly ball hit by Nick Stavinoha that would have tied the game, but the wind says no."

thanks to derrick for the info.

i'm very optimistic about AR coming through this season. the Cardinals will play in october, somebody has to win the games, right?

"You're going to have a big year," Matheny said, clasping hands with this Cardinal. "You watch. You'll see."

The Cardinal on the other end of the handshake -- Anthony Reyes.

"There is no reason he won't have success," Matheny explained when asked about what prompted that glowing farewell. "Sometimes you just need that new face, new voice to encourage you. I've watched him. This kid can throw. He's just had a rough go of it, and sometimes you can't explain that. Most guys go through it at some point. ... He made mistakes and people capitalized on them every time. Your confidence gets down and you try to reinvent the wheel. I think he's through it and he's learned his lesson and he'll be a better pticher for it."

Then it's back to Memphis.... Please bend the bill.

20,128,40,18,80,10,8,4.24

27,138,140,48,106,8,9,4.76 is correct
28, 180, 170, 70, 165, 15, 9, 3.80 is not
27|168|154|62|167|14|5|3.85 is not either

This is not a small request either.  From what I understand LB is adding these to a text file by copy and paste, then adding them to Excel or some database which uses Commas as the delimiter between data sets.  Thus anything other then the correct format either creates LOTS of extra work for him or breaks the file.  Please do your part in following his directions.

I wish I was more optimistic.
