Here’s a quick look at some of the latest and greatest reports and analysis on the Redbirds:

• In his most recent two columns, Bernie Miklasz of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch examines the latest reports on the ongoing Jaime Garcia saga and looks at whether or not Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels is a realistic trade target.
• In the latest installment of her Around the Horn series, Jenifer Langosch of Cardinals.com looks at how the keystone combination of Jhonny Peralta and Kolten Wong are set to provide stability in the middle infield that the Cardinals haven’t had in years.
• In a separate piece, Langosch examines the affect that being out of options could have on Pete Kozma and Sam Freeman making the big-league club out of Spring Training.
• Brian Stull of St. Louis Baseball Weekly reports on how third baseman Matt Carpenter has vowed to be more aggressive at the plate in 2015 following a powerful postseason last year.
• Stull also reports on a now healthy Peter Bourjos’ goal for the 2015 season.
