The Cardinals have made some changes to the facility at Roger Dean Stadium. A storage room has been converted into a place for minor-league coaches to meet, and to meet with minor-league players to go over video. Pictures are going up for all of the Cardinals from this current era who have been drafted and then debuted with the team. Kolten Wong, the latest of that group, will have his picture at the end of a wall-full of the frames.

Things will continue to be informal around the ballpark this weekend as the players take advantage of their last weekend before official workouts begin.

The Cardinals will practice seven days a week until games start at the end of this month. Manager Mike Matheny likes to close the facility on off days unless players need medical attention or training. Those off days aren't scheduled until March during Grapefruit League play.

The first official workout in baseball this spring happens today in Arizona, where the Diamondbacks are the first of the 30 teams to open camp. Arizona plays the Los Angeles Dodgers in a March series in Australia to open the regular season while the other 28 teams are still finishing their exhibition schedules.

The rest of the Cardinals' brass is expected to arrive early next week.
