News: The Cardinals optioned RP Chris Perez, one of the leading candidates to close, to Triple-A Memphis on Monday. Perez, a first-round pick in 2006, experienced arm trouble earlier this spring. He entered Monday's game having made eight one-inning appearances and allowed only two earned runs. Perez started 2008 with Triple-A Memphis before a midseason callup. He appeared in 41 games for the Cardinals, posting a 3-3 record and earning seven saves. "He's got 100 innings in minor-league baseball," manager Tony La Russa said. "He's really such a young pitcher. He needs to work. He needs to work regularly. He can be the closer in Memphis and get valuable experience." Perez's departure means Jason Motte will get first crack at saving games. [...]

Cardinals | Motte likely the closer

Source (kffl.com) (RP - sln) | 0 comments.

The Associated Press reports St. Louis Cardinals RP Jason Motte will likely see the majority of the team's save opportunities after RP Chris Perez was optioned to the minors Monday, March 30. However, manager Tony La Russa is expected to give other relievers a chance to save games as well.

Closer candidate Chris Perez was sent to Triple-A Memphis on Monday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View: A shoulder injury allowed Jason Motte and Ryan Franklin to bypass him in the race to be the Cardinals' closer this spring. However, he will close for Memphis and he could be relied upon if the Cardinals experience more ninth inning struggles this season. In 41 appearances last season he posted a 2.46 ERA and picked up seven saves.

St. Louis elected to carry long reliever Brad Thompson on the Opening Day roster, a move that was admittedly as much tactical as it was any reflection on the overall merits of Thompson and Perez. Over seven spring innings, Perez posted a 3.86 ERA with seven strikeouts and converted his only save opportunity. This all but assures Jason Motte's status as the team's Opening Day fireman.

Cardinals | Will not name closer by end of Spring Training

Source (kffl.com) (RP - sln) | 0 comments.

Derrick Goold, of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, reports the St. Louis Cardinals do not plan on naming a closer by the end of Spring Training. RP Jason Motte apparently has separated himself from the rest of the competition, but the team is hesitant to anoint him with the closing duties. RP Chris Perez's (shoulder) status is unclear because of his injury this spring. Motte has earned a save in four of his last five spring outings and has given up just one run and one walk in 9 1/3 innings pitched. RPs Josh Kinney and Ryan Franklin still have outside chances to win the closer's job.

The situation complicates Perez's attempt to compete for the closing job, simply because if he's not pitching, he can't be stating his case. Cardinals GM John Mozeliak said that at this point, however, Perez's chances of winning the job have not been compromised. The GM expressed confidence that Perez would be back where he needs to be in relatively short order, calling it a "day-by-day" situation. "It was more of a precautionary situation," Mozeliak said. "He feels he could pitch if he had to." Perez will play catch on Friday and progress as the situation allows." Perez will play catch on Friday and progress as the situation allows.

Perez has shoulder ailment

Source (fanball.com) (P - sln) | 0 comments.

Chris Perez is dealing with shoulder discomfort and will be shut down for the next several days, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The club deems the ailment an impingement related to tendinitis. Pitching coach Dave Duncan said, "It is something we're certainly going to be careful with. Does it compromise his chances to win a role on our staff? Not at this point. But it is something you pay attention to."

Our View: Perez cannot afford to miss much time while in a battle for the closer's role. This is good for Jason Motte's chances of nailing down the job, but Ryan Franklin should still be in the race.

News: Tony La Russa could go with one of the fireballing kids: Chris Perez or Jason Motte. Or there is veteran Ryan Franklin, who had 17 saves in 25 chances last year when he took over from Jason Isringhausen. "I think we're all getting a little tired of people asking who's the closer," Cardinals GM John Mozeliak said. "We've been pretty upfront that we're going to use these three weeks." Franklin believes La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan know who they want. Three weeks before the start of the season, La Russa isn't tipping his hand. "You just see how they pitch and the impression they give you, and if one guy emerges he becomes the closer," La Russa said. "If he doesn't, they all kind of share it." Motte just wants to make the team right now. "Hopefully I'll make the team, that's my main objective right now," Motte said. "I'm not trying to be the closer, trying to be this, trying to be that. It doesn't matter if I pitch the sixth or the ninth." [...]
