Gonna roll him out there @ Pitt on Friday. It's annoying he needs 5 starts before he gets SP eligibility on Yahoo. Me no likey having to bench a closer to start him, but them's the breaks.

Pitchers park, team that has had proven success with pitching in general, team that generally values defense more than most. Cardinals are one of those teams I'll gladly take a risk on a young pitcher when he comes up with them because he is setup for success even if he struggles. Would much rather go with someone like Lynn than any of the young arms in Baltimore etc.

Should I take this to mean that you're pretty high on Shelby Miller then? He's on the waiver in my keeper league but I don't really have the space to sit on him until he's called up...

I think there isn't any debate about that anymore. He's a lock. We don't even know when Carp will be back, might not be useful this season at all for all we know. Lynn is shining bright meanwhile.
he's no lock to stay in the rotation if/when Carp comes back. He wouldn't get a full season of innings this year, anyway, so the pen is a nice way to limit that. Given his success in the pen last year, it's not the worst thing in the world for the team assuming Lohse and Westbrook have continued to be good enough at the back end of the rotation. No one really knows what's going to happen with Carp, though.
I think he has gone a long way to securing his spot in the rotation next year, if he doesn't have it virtually locked up now.
The recent chatter about the Cards talking with Oswalt again is interesting on this front, too.
