Cardinal 2007 Season Preview

The burning issue for the St. Louis Cardinals (the Cards for short) has lately become a stadium question. Since, the team has had a full year in the stadium, they are going to introduce some changes to their main sports arena. For example, they are going in for adding a new escalator in right field, putting in down some seats by the field, improving the drainage on the field etc.

Some changes will also be made to the team’s rooster. Some say that Rico Washington and Amuary Marti are coming back this season. However, it looks like Spring Training will be tough for both. The S. Louis Cardinals have plenty of candidates to play in the outfield, after all. At the same time, there can be some at-bats for Marti owing to the injuries that some outfield players have lately received. As for Washington, he is considered to be a less prospective player and more suitable for playing for Minor League teams. Of course, he has been quite successful at Double-A, but, for some reason, never at Triple-A. Besides, his age (he will turn 29 this year) worsens his chances.

It can also be a possibility that Jeff Weaver will leave the team. In this case, some players will be shifted to other gaming positions; Adam Wainwright will probably be moved to the rotation, and Braden Looper is most likely to become a closer until Jason Isringhausen returns. However, much depends on the day when Jason will be able to pitch and train. If he is not pitching for more than a month before Opening Day, Wainwright will most probably be back to the bullpen.

The Cardinals’ Opening Day is expected on Sunday (April,1) when they will compete with the New York Mets. It looks like it will be a very promising match, which is not to be missed.
