March 25, 2008

Clement reportedly had a lot of movement on his ball, but both his command and velocity were lacking a bit. He was pitching at 84-85 mph, and favorably hit 86 twice. Of the seven batters he faced, he walked four, struck out one, retired another on a flyball out and one reached on an error. He got three swinging strikes.

Clement said in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "We're getting so much out of the long toss. Let's keep pounding that so that when you go on the mound, you stay on the mound." Clement is coming back from shoulder surgery and won't be ready at the start of the season.
February 22, 2008

"Even if he is ready, it's likely we'll have him compete somewhere else just to get him in the swing of things." Clement hasn't pitched since June of 2006. Anthony Reyes, Brad Thompson and Todd Wellemeyer now all have a better shot at opening the year in the Cards' rotation.
February 13, 2008

"I expect a normal spring and, as of right now, I expect to do everybody else is doing," Clement said in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "The big thing is I don't want to waste my throws. The important throws have to be when I'm on the mound, and we'll see how my arm reacts." Clement has yet to try throwing breaking balls.
January 3, 2008
Matt Clement signed a one-year deal with the Cardinals Thursday. Terms of the deal aren't known, but it's thought to be an incentive-based deal that includes a club option for 2009, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "Matt is a very talented pitcher who has been beset by injury the last few years," Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said in a statement released by the team. "Based on our findings from his rehabilitation last season and his recent physical, we feel that he can be a solid addition to our starting rotation, and should have no limitations upon reporting to spring training." Clement, who did not pitch at all in 2007, will compete for a rotation spot this spring.
