Smoltz, Cards privately discussing return

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that the Cardinals and pitcher John Smoltz have privately discussed their mutual desire for Smoltz to return next season. The Cardinals plan to use Smoltz as their number four if he comes back, and they will likely fill the fifth spot from within.
Our View: It is sounding more and more like Smoltz will be back in the Gateway City in 2010, which could be a good thing for both sides. The Cards have come pitchers in the organization ready to fill the fifth spot, but the most likely candidate is Jaime Garcia. If the rotation ends up taking shape as listed above, they would be one of the best in baseball heading into next season.
