He’s gotta be on a short leash this year.

He will use his second option when sent to the minors to open the season.

With the rising talent in their system the Cardinals are going to have to be very careful with their 40 man.

Nor Linebrink; he’s an extreme break-glass-in-emergency guy who’s probably in Memphis as much to be a player-coach as a pitching option. K-Mac, conceivably.

Adam Reifer seems like a likable fellow, and I therefore feel the need to apologize to him when I say I hope we don’t see him in Busch until September callups. An earlier appearance would mean that something has gone badly wrong with both the major-league pitching staff and the guys ahead of him, and we don’t want that. About the best scenario I could see would be one where K-Mac or even one of the other, better relievers gets traded for a key piece at some other position, and even that is undesirable as it implies a need for that key help, again suggesting that something has gone wrong somewhere. A September audition would be just fine, however.

A healthy and fully effective pitcher with his potential could push some of the dimmer bulbs elsewhere. . . .Romero? Linebrink? K-Mac?
