The dropped arm caused his pitches to flatten out and become easier to hit. He blew seven of his last 15 save opportunities last season. BLEACHERS SPORTS BAR TONIGHT GRAND OPENING 25C DRAWS!!! Montgomery only has two weeks of training camp to revive his game. He said he did not want to be on the club on a pass. Last season contained many of the lowlights of Montgomery's career: a 2.03 ERA through May jumped to a 6.40 ERA during the rest of the season. He gave up a career-high 14 homers, including five to the first batter he faced in relief. "I felt juiced up like it was a real ballgame today." Montgomery said.

"I've promised myself and everyone I've talked to," he said, "I will not pitch again in the major leagues until I feel like I'm capable." Cardinals shortstop is training in peace The Associated Press ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Royce Clayton is talking about conditioning this spring instead of controversy. Now that Ozzie Smith has retired, everything has changed for the St. Louis Cardinals shortstop. "It's calmer because I don't have to answer the same redundant questions," Clayton said. "It makes my job easier." Since 1983, Smith had been a fixture in training camp. In five years, he'll likely be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. But last s p r i n g Smith made t h i n g s extremely uneasy for first-year manager Tony La Russia, with whom he clashed several times about playing time, and Clayton, who never had to share the position before and suffered from the fallout. This spring Smith hasn't been to Al Lang Stadium, although he had dinner with Brian Jordan and Willie McGee a few days ago. Bad for baseball, perhaps, but good for Clayton. La Russa is counting on iron man work from Clayton as the Cardinals attempt to repeat in the NL Central. "I'm not sure he's relaxed, because I think he's real motivated to make his mark," La Russa said. "He knows he's the shortstop but he's not taking it for granted, he's trying to make a mark." If it happens, Clayton said some of the credit would be due Smith, whom he had idolized as a kid. "I just learned how he went about his job and how he stuck around the game as long as he did," Clayton said. "He was an absolute professional as far as preparing himself. "I want to stay here and play short-stop as long as I can," he said. Cayton said he was ready for the physical grind after an offseason regimen with Mac Newton, a personal trainer who has been associated with La Russa for years. He worked out two hours a day, six days a week, not with weights but instead concentrating on various conditioning exercises. LIBBY PINK SALMON TRADITIONAL 14.75 OZ.
