CARDINALS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Chris Carpenter attempting another comback as starter. But who would he replace in the rotation?
In case you haven't heard by now, Chris Carpenter is attempting to make another comeback from the shoulder issues that have plague him the last two years.
Initially it was reported that the Cardinals were hoping that Carpenter could join the bullpen at some point this season. However, recent reports indicate that he is conditioning himself to be a starter.

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...

Cardinals' Jake Westbrook hopes to resume throwing Friday
The St. Louis Cardinals are cruising. With injuries to Chris Carpenter (he my not even come back) and Jake Westbrook, St. Louis has still managed to boast one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. And they could get better as Westbrook nears his return. He is scheduled to start throwing again on Friday says Jennifer Langosch of MLB.com.
Jake Westbrook (right elbow...
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.
Shelby Miller quickly becoming another ace for the Cardinals
Although I live in the Chicago area and rarely get to see the Cardinals play live, you do not have to watch a game to know when a pitcher utterly dominates a team, which is just what Shelby Miller did on Friday night.
Against a pretty good hitting Rockies team (2nd in the NL in runs scored), Miller gave up a leadoff hit in the first, then proceeded to retire the next 27 batters...

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...
