Pitcher Todd Wellemeyer agreed Monday to a $4.05 million, one-year contract with St. Louis Cardinals, who also struck an $825,000 deal with outfielder Chris Duncan. The 30-year-old Wellemeyer went 13-9 with a 3.71 ERA last year in his first season as a full-time starter. Duncan, 27, batted .248 with six home runs and 27 RBIs in a season shortened by cervical disk replacement surgery in August.
