Cardinals right-hander Adam Wainwright is on track for a normal Spring Training after undergoing Tommy John surgery nearly 11 months ago. St. Louis had hoped, at the time of the surgery, that Wainwright could pitch the entire 2012 season with a shortened spring. Without a setback to mar his rehab process, Wainwright is on track to carry a normal Spring Training load and to take his spot in the big league rotation the first week of the season. In fact, the only thing set to suffer over the next year is Wainwright's home garden, which became an important place of refuge during the rehab process. "I'm not ashamed to brag about my gardening skills," Wainwright joked. "One of the many ways I kept myself sane last year was that garden. It was my sanity garden. It seemed to work."
