Former Cardinal super-sub Stubby Clapp weighs in on the effect steroids have had on baseball over the past decade.

But the road, he feels, might have been a little less frustrating had baseball not had its collective head in the sand for so long on the issue of steroids.

"It (drug testing) would have levelled the playing field,'' he said.

Meanwhile, the future of the Cardinals' rotation, Adam Wainwright, is trying to bulk up.

"I've kind of tortured my body to the limit," he said. "I've thrown up four or five times from working out this year already. I'll be going into spring stronger than I've ever been, heavier than I've ever been and more excited than I've ever been.
