Cardinals manager Mike Matheny isn't ready to say whether Jake Westbrook will start against the Reds next week. Westbrook allowed five runs (four earned) over 4 2/3 innings against the Brewers on Wednesday and owns an ugly 9.69 ERA and 11/16 K/BB ratio over his last 26 innings of work. With the Cardinals jockeying for position in the NL Central, it's time for them to consider other options. For what it's worth, Westbrook didn't hit with the other starters on Thursday and merely watched, so one could take this as a hint about their future plans.
