From Rotoworld:

Jason Isringhausen will resume getting save chances over Ryan Franklin, Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan said Monday.

So much for that vote of confidence to Franklin. It's probably the right move for St. Louis. Franklin was terrific in the eighth inning for more than a full season and might be more comfortable there. The Cards will still be shaky in the ninth, but maybe now they'll have a few more leads get that far.

from rotoworld about adam wainwright...

Update: There has been plenty of speculation that Wainwright (finger) will be used as a closer when he’s activated, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Recommendation: On the one hand, it makes sense. Wainwright has excelled in the role in the past, and Chris Carpenter is returning soon as well. The Cardinals definitely need some stability in the ninth with both Jason Isringhausen and Ryan Franklin having tough seasons in the role. On the other hand, Wainwright was one of the best starters in the league before going on the DL. Having him go seven innings every five days might cure what ails the bullpen. He hasn’t faced live hitters yet in his rehab, so the speculation might be moot.

Any guesses on what's going to happen?
