The last sims dealt the Cards a few more injuries.The player
hurt the worst is the oft-injured Dwight Evans. He will miss
the next month, or more. Though a very productive player, he
is on the DL more than he is on the field. Free Agent aquiree,
Denny Hocking, will get the RF starts for now. Mike Lansing,
2B, also will also get a sim-week off. He will be replaced with
Louis Alecia.
Pitching also had four injuries occur,mainly in their bullpen.
Both Mike Moore and Scott Karl, who have gotten off to good
starts, got minor injuries. TJ Matthews also is ailing.
Struggling starting pitcher Alan Benes will probably be sent to
AAA. He is 0-5 this season and getting roughed up bad in his
starts. Both Moore & Karl were options to take his starting
spot, but injuries may force the Cards to try Greg Swindell in
the rotation.---------------------------------------------

 Alan Benes early stuggles could equal
demotion |
