Even though the first spring training exhibition game is still 24 hours away, a lot has happened in Cardinals Nation.
- Lance Berkman arrives at camp as a much leaner and hopefully meaner player
- Chris Carpenter helps Shelby Miller avoid a bad habit where he’s tipping his pitches
- Matt Holliday says that he’s willing to defer salary if it helps with the Albert Pujols contract extension
- The Albert Pujols contract deadline passed by like Y2K (much ado about nothin’)
- Albert Pujols publicly states that he would use his 10-5 veto rights to refuse a trade
- Adam Wainwright suffers a season ending elbow injury and will have TJ surgery
- Some player on the Reds made some inflammatory comments
- Chris Carpenter indicated that he would not block any trade the Cardinals would propose
- A palm tree has yet to fall on David Freese
What a fun couple of weeks. I’m exhausted, and the first exhibition pitch hasn’t even happened yet. Pace yourself, Bob – it’s gonna be a long season.
After reading Dennis @ PH8′s latest article, The Devil’s Advocate vs Chris Carpenter, it got me wondering about how other people’s opinions of some players has changed, without any on-the-field heroics (or struggles) to get in the way.
So, why not do a quick three question poll.
And finally, given all that has gone on, plus the individual’s body of work ……
I am really looking forward to the results of these three questions.
That list made me tired just reading it! Hard to believe so much has happened already. Loved the polls! Fun!
Thanks Laura. Glad you like the poll. Will be interesting to see the results when it closes out.
Fortunately, the last couple of games have passed without a lot of drama, so hoping for an injury free end to spring training
