| |  | ST LOUIS: ST. LOUIS (AP) - Last October, the St. Louis Cardinals were sufficiently flush with arms that they carried rookie Shelby Miller and deposed closer Edward Mujica in ceremonial roles and made it to Game 6 of the World Series against Boston.
After leading major league rookies with 15 wins, Miller was limited to one postseason inning due to concerns about a heavy workload. Mujica was used only in mop-up duty after mid-September.
The National League champions are perhaps even deeper, across the board, entering opening day March 31 at Cincinnati. The team that tied for the major league high with 97 wins has a surplus of viable candidates.
''I think we have the potential to be great,'' said ace Adam Wainwright, who won 19 games and finished second in NL Cy Young balloting. ''We just have to go out there, not listen to the hype, and perform.''
The 32-year-old Wainwright qualifies as the grizzled leader of a rotation that could include three members coming off big rookie debuts. Michael Wacha was a postseason sensation and the NLCS MVP, Miller went wire-to-wire as the fifth starter and Carlos Martinez, who's had an impressive spring, moved into the setup role when fellow rookie Trevor Rosenthal took over as closer.
Wacha and Martinez are 22, Miller and Rosenthal just 23.
There's also 15-game winner Lance Lynn, who struck out 10 in four innings of his last spring training start, and lefty Jaime Garcia could fit into the mix sometime in April coming off shoulder surgery. And don't forget Joe Kelly, another rookie who won 10 games and was the rotation's strongest starter much of the second half.
And one of the National League's best lineups, too.
Much is expected from a loyal fan base that extends several states, and that's OK.
''Our expectations,'' Lynn said, ''are higher than theirs.''
| | MILWAUKEE: MILWAUKEE (AP) - Two pitches into his spring training return, the Brewers' most important player tried to prove his point.
Home run, Ryan Braun.
Now let's see how he fares when the games count.
Bolstered by the return of Braun from a 65-game doping suspension and the signing of free-agent starter Matt Garza, Milwaukee enters the 2014 season hoping it has the pieces to contend again in the competitive NL Central.
Braun has vowed to return to his 2011 MVP form.
''I think the expectation is to have an opportunity to compete to get back to the playoffs. That's our goal, I think it's realistic,'' Braun said during spring training in Phoenix.
Staying healthy would help, too. Besides Braun's suspension, injuries sapped much of the Brewers' power last year with projected 3-4-5 hitters Braun, Aramis Ramirez and Corey Hart each missing various lengths of time. Hart never played because of a knee injury.
Hart is gone, but Braun and Ramirez are back and bolstered by new team cornerstones who emerged last season in Carlos Gomez, Jean Segura and Jonathan Lucroy.

*Cardinals-Brewers Preview* ===========================
By JEFF BARTL STATS Writer
St. Louis (9-5) at Milwaukee (10-4), 1:10 p.m. EDT
The Milwaukee Brewers were looking to extend their lengthy winning streak when St. Louis came to town, but instead they've been cooled off by some stellar Cardinals pitching.
The Brewers lineup may be in for some more trouble given how well Joe Kelly has pitched to start the season.
Kelly takes the mound looking to help guide the Cardinals to a three-game sweep of Milwaukee on Wednesday.
The Brewers (10-4) entered this series winners of nine straight, but they've managed just six hits against St. Louis pitching through the first two games. They fell 4-0 on Monday before Aramis Ramirez hit a solo homer Tuesday for their only offense in a 6-1 loss.
Milwaukee hit .294 and scored 53 runs during its winning streak.
"A lot of power in that lineup. Really throughout the whole lineup is pretty solid, so the biggest thing you do is try and keep them off balance as much as possible," said Cardinals starter Shelby Miller, who struck out seven in six innings.
It may not get any better for the Brewers on Wednesday as Kelly looks to continue his hot start.
Kelly (1-0, 0.79 ERA) gave up one run in 5 1-3 innings of a 6-1 win over Pittsburgh on April 5 before allowing only an unearned run in six frames of St. Louis' 6-3, 11-inning loss to the Chicago Cubs on Friday.
The right-hander faced the minimum through five innings against the Cubs.
"I had my two pitches working for me - fastball, curveball," Kelly said. "I kind of got a feel for my change there at the end and didn't have any walks, so that's always a plus."
Kelly is 1-3 with a 3.94 ERA in five career starts against the Brewers, giving up six runs - three earned - in seven innings of a 6-4 loss the last time he faced them Sept. 22.
Wily Peralta picked up the win in that contest for Milwaukee, and he'll be on the mound seeking another solid outing.
Peralta (1-0, 2.25) gave up two runs - one earned - and four hits over seven innings of Friday's 4-2 victory over Pittsburgh. He hadn't pitched seven full innings in any of his previous eight starts since going eight in a loss to Seattle on Aug. 11.
"(My slider has) gotten better," Peralta said. "Early in spring training, that's the pitch I've been working on. Finally, I did it. I have confidence in it and throwing it whatever count I want to. That's great for me."
Not much went well for the right-hander against St. Louis last season, as he went 1-3 with a 7.71 ERA in four starts. The Cardinals hit .319 off Peralta in 21 innings, with Matt Carpenter going 5 for 9 with a homer, a double and three walks against him.
Matt Holliday hit a solo homer Tuesday, while Jhonny Peralta went 2 for 4 with a pair of RBIs for St. Louis (9-5), which has won four straight overall and 10 of 12 in Milwaukee.
Mark Ellis drove in two runs in his Cardinals debut after beginning the season on the disabled list with left knee tendinitis.
"Mark did a great job - all the little things we talk about," manager Mike Matheny said.
