Cardinals released RHP Jason Motte.
Motte will shop around for offers from other teams, but it sounds like he could wind up re-signing with the Cardinals on a minor league deal and heading to Triple-A Memphis. The veteran right-hander allowed six runs on 13 hits and two walks over just 5 1/3 innings this spring in the Grapefruit League. He had a troubling 27/20 K/BB ratio in 40 2/3 innings last season with the Braves.

seems like in one of the stltoday chats one of them mentioned motte lives in memphis so he probably does wind back with us

This article is from early February, but I am posting because I was asking myself the same question today.

Does John have kids? He should hang up his cleats and spend the rest of his days harassing Little League umpires.

Yeah, I don't have a problem in principal. Let's see how Matheny does though.
Who are the best arms that we want the manager to leverage in this bullpen?
