Starting pitcher Anthony Reyes will need a lot of help if he hopes to obtain the fifth starting spot in the rotation. Speculation has risen that Adam Wainwright, who sports a sub-1.00 earned-run average, has taken over as the second candidate to Sidney Ponson.

It will be interesting to see if Wainwright pitches out of the bullpen during his next outing because he could begin the year as the Cardinals' long reliever if the team decides to go that route.
