JUPITER, Fla. • Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday and World Series MVP David Freese traveled from St. Louis together Monday afternoon, and both will join their teammates during today's informal workouts for position players.

"I've been looking forward to this for a few months now," Freese said. "You get down here. You get on the field. Everything from here is just about baseball."

Some quick notes from the morning at Camp Cardinals:

-- Jon Jay, Daniel Descalso and Pete Kozma are also making their first appearances of camp this morning.

-- Koyie Hill, who is competing for the backup catcher spot, will catch Chris Carpenter and Jake Westbrook during bullpens today.

"The things they usually get me out with, now I have to figure out why they work," said Hill, a former Chicago Cubs catcher.

-- Starter Yadier Molina will catch Tyrell Jenkins, the only teen in camp.

-- There is a "rookie meeting" set for this morning aside from the usual clubhouse meeting that the manager and his staff holds to run through the day's schedule.

-- ESPN's John Kruk held court with some players this morning. The Baseball Tonight bus is making its first stop of spring with the Cardinals. They will appear throughout the day on the various ESPN channels. The ESPN personalities will be joined on the bus by manager Mike Matheny for an interview and a pitcher is set to join them. The morning-line favorite is Adam Wainwright.

The schedule of throwers for today is as follows:

10:45 a.m. FLA time: RHP Chris Carpenter, RHP Tyrell Jenkins, RHP Joe Kelly

11:00 a.m. FLA time: RHP Jake Westbrook, RHP Kyle McClellan, RHP Fernando Salas.

11:15 a.m. FLa time: RHP Adam Wainwright, RHP Shelby Miller, RHP Trevor Rosenthal.

11:30 a.m. FLA time: LHP Jaime Garcia, RHP Brandon Dickson, LHP Sam Freeman, LHP John Gast.

The quotes of the day continue on Matheny's workouts. I'll be chronicling those each day over at Bird Land, and when possible I'll try to find the context for the quote. Today's comes from Aristotle.
