Per Matthew Leach, here are the Cardinal non-roster invitees–
Outfield
Infield
Catchers
Pitchers
- Mitchell Boggs, Jaime Garcia, Chris Perez, Adam Ottavino, Clayton Mortensen, P.J. Walters, Dewon Brazelton, Hugo Castellanos, Ron Flores, Cliff Politte and John Wasdin.
No major surprises here, save maybe Freese and Mortensen. Sleeper Nick Derba will have a shot at showing off his skills behind the plate. The good news here is that we’re seeing more and more prospects, and less minor league vets, though there is a fair share of those too.

Whew, good thing John Wasdin is going to be there. I’d hate to see what Mark Worrell could do against major leaguers. We’re much better off trying out someone who hasn’t been able to retire a major leaguer for 15 years.
[/sarcasm]
Skip the sarcasm. Worrell is on the 40-man roster.
Hey now, Wasdin is a great pitcher…. I think he could be our number 3 starter this year if they give him a chance in spring training.
mark worrell will be there, he’s on the roster.
i am wondering if guys like mortensen will even get an inning, or if they are just there for the experience and to throw live batting practice for the hitters.
duh — you’re right FGC, brain lapse.
wasdinfan, you forgot your sarcasm tag.
Hope to see Cazana Marti get some ab’s
Wasdinfan - We know you’re John Wasdin, just come out and admit it now
What, no juan gone? Bummer.
I wonder where Uncle Rico will end up this year, with all the stud 3B’s we have nipping at his heels? He was a minor league FA and with Craig, Barden and Freese all candidates for the Memphis 3B job this year, I’m surprised he resigned with us, especially after not getting called up when Rolen went down.
Did something happen to John Rodriguez that I don’t know about or are we just not inviting him?
JRod signed with another team, no longer ours.
yep, j rod is a ray rod
Thank you, didn’t know that.
I see no Mike Parisi, maybe they’re not so high on him…
GO CARDS!!!

Higher then you really since he is on the 40 man roster.
New additions from last year:
McClellan
Motte
Parisi
Worrell
Hoffpauier
Barton
Mather
parisi is on the 40 man roster as already mentioned by others, so he will be in camp.
Sorry but I really forgot that all those on the 40 man roster will be in camp!!! I have the impression that the competition for spots #4 & #5 will be really hot!!
GO CARDS!!!
