It’s been a little while since we’ve heard much about St. Louis Cardinals’ reliever Jordan Walden. Remember that name?
Jennifer Langosch, Cardinals beat reporter for MLB.com, reported yesterday that all signs so far point to Walden being ready for spring training. Answering a fan’s inbox question about an update on the setup man, Langosch said “the reports the Cardinals have received on Walden have all been positive, and the expectation is that he’ll be on the same pitching program as all other relievers this spring.”
For those who don’t remember, Walden was the other piece in the Cardinals trade with the Atlanta Braves for Jason Heyward, and no small piece at that.
