The Cardinals could seek pitching help, but they will wait to determine the status of Brad Penny and Kyle Lohse. Other areas of the team could use upgrading, like their middle infield, but the team has time to evaluate their needs. "We've got two starters missing," manager Tony La Russa said. "So even if we've got a guarantee that Penny's coming back in top form, you're still going to be looking for help. You don't know what Lohse is going to be." A source said Tuesday that the Cardinals are hesitant to take on a player with a contract longer than one year.
