Prospect Star Of Camp: Manager Tony La Russa isn't known for his patience with young players, but two of the Cardinals' top five prospects earned starting jobs this spring. 3B David Freese overcame five errors, an offseason DUI and the late addition of veteran Felipe Lopez to claim the starting job at the hot corner, and lefthander Jaime Garcia continued his strong comeback from Tommy John surgery to earn a rotation spot. Garcia, 23, posted a 1.93 ERA in 18 2/3 innings this spring, striking out 16 and walking five.
