The Cardinals won't call Chris Antonetti the front-runner to become their next general manager, but the club did call the up-and-coming Cleveland Indians' executive and his wife to Busch Stadium for a meeting Friday morning with team president Mark Lamping and a tour of the facility. Antonetti, assistant general manager to Indians' GM Mark Shapiro, has made a strong impression in several conversations with the search committee of Cardinals' Chairman Bill DeWitt and Team Presidnet Lamping. Though Friday's tour of the stadium front offices, home clubhouse and field does not assure Antonetti will become Walt Jocketty's successor, it does confirm the organization is nearing completion of a process tailored to make room for Antonetti's candidacy. DeWitt did not return a phone message Friday night. DeWitt left town after Monday's press conference to announcing the return of manager Tony La Russa and was not present during Friday's tour.
