| | | 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 MEZYDLO STATS Senior Writer
St. Louis (7-5) at Milwaukee (10-2), 8:10 p.m. EDT
Even amid their best start in 27 years, the Milwaukee Brewers still have their problems with the St. Louis Cardinals.
With their lengthy winning streak in the past, the Brewers hope to finally get the best of Shelby Miller and bounce back from their latest defeat to the visiting Cardinals on Tuesday night.
Riding a nine-game winning streak during which it averaged 5.9 runs, Milwaukee (10-3) was held to three hits during Monday's 4-0 loss to St. Louis. The Cardinals (8-5) have won 30 of 42 regular season games against the Brewers, including nine of 11 at Miller Park.
"We're fine," losing pitcher Matt Garza said. "We'll come back and we'll start a new (streak Tuesday)."
John Jay hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning and Matt Adams added three hits as the Cardinals won their third in a row.
Adams is batting .360 on the season, and .455 (15 for 33) during his last nine games versus Milwaukee.
After Lance Lynn struck out 11 and allowed those three hits in seven innings, Miller (0-2, 6.35 ERA) looks to carry over his series success from last season when he went 3-0 with a 2.03 ERA in five starts against the Brewers as a rookie.
Miller received an average of 5.23 runs of support in those contests, but the Cardinals have totaled two in his two 2014 starts.
However, five of the eight runs the right-hander has allowed in 11 1-3 innings this season have come via four homers. He's also walked six while striking out seven. Miller gave up one of those homers and three runs total in six innings of a 4-0 loss to Cincinnati on Wednesday.
"I thought he was better than how the result was overall," manager Mike Matheny told the Cardinals' official website.
Aramis Ramirez is 5 for 10 with a home run versus Miller, but went 0 for 3 on Monday for only his second hitless game in 13 contests this season. The veteran third baseman is batting .358 with 11 RBIs in 2014, but is 4 for 19 in his last five versus St. Louis.
Milwaukee All-Star shortstop Jean Segura had two hits in the series opener after going 1 for 19 in the first five home games.
He went 0 for 12 with five strikeouts against Miller in 2013.
Though scheduled Milwaukee starter Marco Estrada (1-0, 2.31) is 0-3 with a 5.67 ERA in seven starts against the Cardinals, the right-hander allowed two runs in each of the two he's made in 2014. The most recent came over six innings of a 6-2 win at Philadelphia on Thursday.
St. Louis' Yadier Molina, who was given the night off Monday, is 10 for 20 in his last five games. He's 12 for 21 (.571) during the regular season against Estrada.
Teammate Mark Ellis could be nearing his Cardinals debut, possibly in this series, after opening the season on the disabled list with left knee tendinitis. The veteran infielder signed with St. Louis after spending the last two seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
