With music thumping and Busch seats empty, Cardinals gather for first workout of second 'camp'

With both bullpens in use and hitters cycling through -- at a respectable distance -- batting practice on the main field, the Cardinals' began their first official workouts of "Summer Camp" on Friday afternoon at Busch Stadium.

Compared to what early-afternoon workouts usually look like at the ballpark, not much was different.

It appears to have been DeJong-proofed.

When the field cleared after batting practice, so did the players from everywhere but the bullpens and the first live batting practice session of the accessible workouts began: Jack Flaherty took the mound. Molina crouched behind the plate.
