Spring Training has now started and the St.Louis Cardinals have finally reported to Jupiter Florida,the big story coming from the Cardinals camp is about right handed ace Chris Carpenter still being hurt from last season even after having surgery on his shoulder.

Chris Carpenter orginally went down about this time last year with numbness in his whole throwing arm.Three weeks after he discovered his injury Chris had surgery to repair a tendon in his shoulder and eventually was able to pitch in six games of the 2012 season and five games in the playoffs against the Nationals and the Giants.

Chris said in an interview a couple of days ago "I am not ruling anything out,i still might pitch this season." Carp was also said to be contiplating retirement but he cleared those rumors up by saying "I dont think i will ever say those words, I wont ever quit."Carp has infuenced many players in the Cardinals organization including Adam Wainwright and Shelby Miller and now theyre careers are starting to thrive.He will be missed as a teammate during his recovery.

Chris Carpenter is the fiercest competitor the MLB as seen in a long time and many players from other teams were sad to hear about a great players injury for the second year in a row.His performances in the playoff will forever be remembered and if he can not come back from his injury he will be a hall of famer down the road.
