The task facing general manager Walt Jocketty and the Cardinals is quite simple. Easy? Definitely not. But simple, yes. Just find two starting pitchers. It's a straightforward assignment, even if it's a difficult one.
Most of the issues facing St. Louis at the start of the offseason have been addressed. Jim Edmonds will be back, answering what looked like a big question in center field. Adam Kennedy will take Ronnie Belliard's place at second base. Utility man Scott Spiezio will be back for another season. And the bullpen was already pretty well set.
So that leaves starting pitching. And the Redbirds' front office knows it won't be easy, or cheap, to shore up that aspect of the club. They've already brought in one starter, right-hander Kip Wells. When the Winter Meetings get under way in Orlando on Monday, they'll be looking to pick up two more.
