Cardinals Have Flexible Payroll

Bernie Miklasz passes along some quotes from Cardinals chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. about the team's offseason plans. DeWitt didn't pin the Cards' 2009 payroll down exactly, but he said it will be over $100MM. Whether the payroll's slightly or considerably higher than that "depends on who is available or what the value is."

DeWitt said the organization would "consider" signing expensive players if they could make a big difference on the team.

Miklasz heard Tony La Russa's thoughts on the St. Louis bullpen now that they missed out on Brian Fuentes. La Russa said Chris Carpenter could close next year, since he's reluctant to expect 30 starts from Carp and he doesn't think Chris Perez and Jason Motte are completely ready.
