The Cardinals are in the process of finding a position on their staff for former Major Leaguer Mike Aldrete. Manager Tony La Russa acknowledged that Aldrete is expected to join the club, but the exact role is unclear. Aldrete will work with hitters in some capacity, though not as the club's hitting coach. The 46-year-old, who played for La Russa in Oakland, was Glaus' hitting coach in Arizona in 2005.
