Adam Wainwright

by @ 2:16 pm. Filed under 2008 Cardinals

The Cards locked up pitcher Adam Wainwright today, signing him to a four year extension with club options for 2012 and 2013. While everyone will probably remember Wainwright for the nasty curveball which struck out Carlos Beltran for the final out in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS, he actually did a solid job in his first year as a starter and is one of the pieces the Cardinals are looking to build around for the future, so this is a good move. He looks to be their opening day starter and ace this year and the Cards are probably getting him at a reasonable price for a young pitcher while still having those club option years to protect them against injury.
