In the last two seasons, the Cardinals have had a 40-man roster crunch and ended up losing a player in the Rule V draft. Two years ago, it was Luis Perdomo, who could be providing the Cardinals with solid rotation depth, a decent trade chip, or a guy out of the bullpen. Last season, it was Allen Cordoba, who didn’t do much last season with the Padres, but could still be making his way up the Cardinals ranks if given the opportunity. The Cardinals could be faced with the same problem again this season.
