Past Success Vs. Barry Zito Shapes Cardinals Lineup; Pedro Feliz Providing Immediate Boost For Cardinals; Kyle McClellan Quietly Having Stellar Season

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa may have raised a few eyebrows Sunday morning when the St. Louis lineup showed shortstop Brendan Ryan leading off. Although Ryan has enjoyed a slight resurgence at the plate as of late, the right-handed hitter is still hitting .225/.286/.304 this season, not prototypical lead off numbers.
