Adam Wainwright (elbow) has resumed facing hitters since reporting to the Cardinals' spring training complex in Jupiter, Florida last month. Wainwright, who missed the entire 2011 season following Tommy John surgery, has thrown about every third day since arriving to camp and estimates that he's throwing his fastball about 90 percent effort. "I just feel really good," said Wainwright. "I feel strong. I feel ready to go. It's one of the things where the power of understatement can be really great. But at the same time Cardinal fans should know that I'm feeling pretty danged good." Barring any setbacks, it appears that he'll be able to reach his goal of being ready for Opening Day.
