Spring Training this year was an optimistic time for the Cardinals. The bats would be so potent that the home runs would block out the sun. The pitchers could throw in the shade -- and there were many pitchers who might fill that role. John Gant, Daniel Ponce de Leon, and Austin Gomber had all made at least a handful of starts for the team in 2018, and none of them were projected to be in the rotation to start the year. That’s before we get to Alex Reyes, who was the most electric pitching prospect in the majors before a season-ending injury last May.
Austin Gomber Should Start for the Cardinals
