The bullpen for the Cardinals has been fairly set for a while, even if nothing was made official. Tough luck for Benes and Falkenborg, they've been very good in their own right.
The bench situation is more interesting. They released Deivi Cruz yesterday (no surprise), and optioned John Gall and Chris Duncan to Memphis (quite surprising...the two biggest power threats off the bench).
You've got six guys competing for five spots (with Bigbie on DL and assuming So Taguchi is the "primary" LF):
1. Gary Bennett
2. John Rodriguez
3. Aaron Miles
4. Hector Luna
5. Skip Schumaker
6. Scott Spiezio
Bennett's a lock, and J-Rod & Miles are pretty close to locks. Matthew Leach (beat writer for the Cards on mlb.com) said that if the team was sending down Schumaker, they would've done it already. That makes four.
If it's down to Luna and Spiezio, the Speez probably has the advantage. He's a vet who can switch-hit and play many positions; Luna is also versatile but still pretty green and only right-handed. He also has options left, and I think he's Memphis bound. |

I had to chirp somewhere...was about to write something about it in the NL Central forum, but you beat me to the punch.
BTW Jeff, heard the Brandon Phillips rumors swirling about? |
