Isringhausen:
Jason Isringhausen continues to recover from this surgery. He's playing long toss, and right now the Cardinals look for him to start the season on the DL, and will use him sparingly when he gets back:
Pitching coach Dave Duncan said Friday that Isringhausen likely will open the season on the disabled list as he recuperates.
Duncan stressed that even when Isringhausen has recovered, the Cardinals likely will devise a maintenance program for him, and a strong recommendation against using him more than two days in a row.
Kline looks like he'll get the first shot at the job. He doesn't have the K numbers that Izzy does, but he does have some success in save situations, converting 15 of 18 over the last two years.
