General manager John Mozeliak said on Wednesday that Brendan Ryan has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his right wrist and will be limited at the start of Spring Training.

Newcomer Brad Penny envisions himself being a perfect fit in the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation. Contrary to how he's viewed by many, the 31-year-old Penny said he isn't a power pitcher, that he prefers working to contact. It's a long-embraced philosophy of Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan.
| Brad Penny Wrote: | "I've never really been a strikeout pitcher," the 6-foot-4, 230-pound right-hander said Saturday at the Cardinals' 14th annual Winter Warm-Up at the Hyatt Regency St. Louis at The Arch.
