Just when you thought the Cards had a tough lineup before August 6, now Larry Walker's wearing Cardinal red.
The big debate: Where will he hit in that power-packed lineup? 2nd? 6th? Will he crack the Pujols - Rolen - Edmonds heart?
Wherever he ends up, it's definitely a good problem to have for skipper Tony LaRussa:
"There's some good times ahead -- where to hit him, where to play him, how much to play him," said La Russa, who praised team ownership. "They're trying to give us every chance we can to get to the finish line and get to October and do some damage."
