Cardinals Turn To Free Agent Market

The Cardinals want to add at least one starting pitcher.  Once thought to be interested in Carlos Silva and Kyle Lohse – the "premium" options – John Mozeliak is already digging through the bargain bin.  Matthew Leach and Joe Strauss have the latest.

• Mozeliak has talked to Bartolo Colon’s agent and the Cards will take a look at his medical records.  It’s been suggested that Colon will not take a one-year deal.
• Livan Hernandez is under consideration, but Mozeliak says he’s "not yet" a fit.
• Josh Fogg is on the radar too.
• The Cardinals have marginal interest in Kris Benson, and they’ll attend his workout on the 17th.
• Interesting non-pitcher note from Mozeliak: the Cards have expressed interest in Aaron Rowand.
