| |  | 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.''
| | CHICAGO CUBS: CHICAGO (AP) - Wrigley Field is decked out for the party of a century.
As for the Chicago Cubs?
It looks like there won't be much to celebrate this season other than their ballpark's 100th anniversary. As Wrigley hits a milestone, the Cubs remain in a rebuilding mode, hoping to avoid their fifth straight losing season.
They have a new manager in Rick Renteria. Their outlook looks about the same, though.
It's all about the future, the prized prospects in the system, no matter how painful that might be to the players in uniform at the major league level. More lumps appear to be in store for the Cubs as they enter their third year with Theo Epstein as president of baseball operations.
''The objective is to win as many games as possible, be the last man standing and bring a championship to the city of Chicago,'' pitcher Edwin Jackson said. ''The motivation is still the same. The message is still the same. We want to go out and win. We don't want to go out and be a pushover.''

*Cardinals-Cubs Preview* ========================
By JEFF MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
St. Louis (54-48) at Chicago (42-59), 2:20 p.m. EDT
If Adam Wainwright is to bounce back from one of his worst outings of the season, he must avoid having another one at Wrigley Field.
Trying again to become the majors' first 13-game winner, the St. Louis Cardinals right-hander looks to avoid losing consecutive starts for the first time this season in Sunday's decisive series finale against the Chicago Cubs.
Wainwright (12-5, 2.02 ERA) allowed six runs over his previous 52 2-3 innings prior to yielding six - four earned - in 4 2-3 innings of a 7-2 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday.
"(It) was unacceptable," the NL's ERA leader said following his second-shortest start of the season. "I'll be better next time. I'll get back to doing what I do best."
Wainwright never made it out of a fifth inning during which he was charged with five runs, committed an error, walked three and hit a batter.
"We saw some uncharacteristic things, things that aren't typically going to happen to him," manager Mike Matheny said. "He normally gets himself out of those things. He's human, they're going to happen."
Wainwright is 1-1 with a 6.00 ERA in three starts versus Chicago in 2014, and the lone loss came at Wrigley on May 2 as he gave up six runs and 10 hits in five innings of a 6-5 defeat. He's since gone 5-1 with a 1.01 ERA in seven road starts.
Chicago's Luis Valbuena, Nate Schierholtz, Welington Castillo and Ryan Sweeney are a combined 15 for 28 with eight doubles versus Wainwright this season. All-Star Anthony Rizzo is 3 for 8 with a homer against him in 2014.
Sweeney has two home runs and five RBIs thus far in this three-game set for the Cubs (42-60), who with Saturday's 6-3 defeat have dropped 14 of 18.
Rizzo went 0 for 4 with one RBI after batting .351 during a 10-game hitting streak.
Matt Adams had four RBIs and A.J. Pierzynski added three hits in his debut for the Cardinals (55-48), who snapped a season-high four-game skid.
A former South Sider with the White Sox, Pierzynski was signed Saturday to help the Cardinals while Yadier Molina recovers from a thumb injury. Pierzynski was released this month by Boston, where he struggled to fit in and hit .254 with four homers and 31 RBIs in 72 games.
He's 7 for 12 against the Cubs this season.
"He came in the clubhouse, real easy to get along with - just giddy to be a part of the team," Saturday's starter Shelby Miller told MLB's official website. "We're happy to have him."
Adams continues to play a big role in St. Louis' success. The Cardinals are 23-3 when he has an RBI, and he had none during the four-game losing streak before breaking out Saturday.
"If you look at when we started to gain some traction in our division, it's when Matt started to go," Matheny said. "Not to put the pressure on him, but he was the guy at the time and he's continued to do that, to step up big for us."
The Cardinals will get their first look at Kyle Hendricks (1-0, 2.77), who gave up five hits in seven innings of a 6-0 win over San Diego on Tuesday in his second career start.
"I just got up here and I'm trying to do what I can to help the team at this point," the right-hander said.
