Wow! When I read this:
"This certainly is a significant, serious situation at this point," Paletta said. "But I wouldn't call it career-threatening. It may put part of next year in jeopardy, but I don't think it's at a point where it's career-threatening. It may compromise part of next year, depending on which one of those (surgical) options."
I immediately began to think Adam Wainwright may be the best bet for closing, but then recalled that the Cardinals refused to deal him this past July 31 because he is slated to entert he starting rotation next season.
With the Red Sox leaning towards moving a successful closer to the rotation, I doubt the Cards will buck that "trend" and keep Wainwright in the 'pen.
Braden Looper looks like the best bet for 2007, but a free agent signing appears just as likely.

Wainwright will be one to look forward to next year. He seemed quite consistent during his trips out of the 'pen. Since the Cards need pitching I keep thinking they'll sign Andy Petitte to a deal. Petitte still has the stuff, just needs some offense to back it up. The Cards do have that.
