Cardinals Notes: Carpenter, Oswalt, Luhnow

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | March 21, 2012 at 12:29pm CDT

The Cardinals may open the season without their ace starting pitcher. Here are the details along with reactions from around the league…

  • Chris Carpenter returned to St. Louis to be examined by nerve specialists, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. It now seems likely that Carpenter will open the season on the disabled list with Lance Lynn taking his spot in the Cardinals’ rotation.
  • Richard Justice of MLB.com doubted Roy Oswalt's decision to sign midseason, but now that Carpenter and Rangers starter Neftali Feliz are battling injuries, there's uncertainty on Oswalt's two preferred teams.
  • Jeff Gordon of the Post-Dispatch makes the case that “revisiting the Oswalt Option is imperative.”
  • Astros GM Jeff Luhnow says his time spent working in the Cardinals front office formed him professionally, Derrick Goold of the Post-Dispatch reports. "My time with the Cardinals — it defines who I am. It defines what kind of baseball executive I am and will be," Luhnow said.

      The Cardinals have plenty of other options than Joe Blanton.  Unless the Phillies are picking up all but the league minimum I see no reason why it would even be a thought.

    The Rangers rotation is certainly looking uncertain now that Feliz had shoulder tightness. Who will take his place I wonder? Certainly not Scott Feldman or Alexi Ogando… Oh wait.
