If McClellan performs in 2011...

...like it appears he will, look for Chris Carpenter to be wearing another uniform in 2012.  The Cardinals will look at Chris Carpenter's close to $16 million salary, followed by his age and injury record, and decide that $12 million on a 30 year old Adam Wainwright makes much more sense.  Will Pujols sign?  I kind of doubt it, but only time will tell.  Maybe this season will convince the Cardinals that Pujols is worth 10 years at $20-whatever million dollars he's seeking.  Maybe Pujols's seeming disloyalty and greed will have turned fans to such an extent that he will have to sign elsewhere, to build a fresh fanbase.  I don't pretend to know.
