Some savvy drafting and sure hands helped Adam Wainwright pocket his first victory of the spring on Wednesday.

The word Cardinals manager Mike Shildt came up with to describe the schedule for pitchers Wednesday at spring training was succinct and telling.

With the No. 1 overall selection in the St. Louis Cardinals "Pitcher Fielding Practice Championships" veteran Adam Wainwright selected Alex Reyes. And he picked well, as his "Team Latino" with Reyes, Genesis Cabrera and Williams Pérez were the winners.

Of the 28 pitchers the Cardinals used last season--and my apologies to Greg Garcia and Jedd Gyorko for their exclusion despite each having logged an inning of relief work in blowouts--19 of them are present in spring camp this year. Some veterans, now recovered from the injuries that last summer provided opportunities to younger arms, are here in Jupiter looking to bounce back. Those younger hurlers, several of whom came out of the woodwork to provide quality innings in a pinch, seek only to remain exactly where they were in September last season: on the big-league roster. But there are only so many spots in rotation and bullpen to go around.
