I'm hopeful Lott gets extended but i was reading this article about the White Sox signing JJ Putz and this guy(Brett Fischer) was mentioned as working for the Cardinals. Maybe he is being groomed to take over. From the Chicago Tribune:
Whether Putz can regain his 2007 American League all-star form remains to be seen, but at least the Sox kept track of Putz's rehab dating back to last season and the information made available to them through Brett Fischer, who supervised Putz's rehabilitation in Phoenix.
Fischer has been instrumental in the longevity of five-time Cy Young Award winner Randy Johnson and the health of other top baseball players. He recently expanded his duties and now works with the NFL's Arizona Cardinals.
Fischer reported that Putz has thrown well recently in long toss drills in front of several teams. The plans call for Putz to take a break over Christmas before throwing off a mound for the first time since his surgery.
It's not uncommon for pitchers to not throw off a mound until a few weeks prior to spring training, so Putz is ahead of schedule.
"We've had no problems," Fischer said. "He's working hard, whether it's on his throwing program or his core work. He's been a good guy to work with."
