What's the Rotation

An injury to Joel Pineiro sends Cardinals management scrambling to find another pitcher:

Four days after Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak downplayed the club's search for additional starting pitching, the club reacted Tuesday to persistent questions about Joel Pineiro's right shoulder by inquiring about free agent Kyle Lohse.

With opening day starter Adam Wainwright and Braden Looper the only certainties in a suspect rotation, manager Tony La Russa and pitching coach Dave Duncan said they're open to help from outside.

La Russa described the team as in a scramble to construct a five-man turn early in the day, then admitted after the game, "I don't think we have to worry about having too much pitching."

This is going to be an ugly season for the Cardinals, even if Albert Pujols's elbow holds up.

If losing Piniero hurts your rotation you've got a lot of problems
