There are been some developments that have made what previously seemed to be a fixed bench with no surprises into a bench with more possibilities. Suddenly, the obvious bench is not quite as obvious. For starters, the Cardinals plan to carry 13 pitchers and 13 position players. The previous belief was a 14/12 split, which means the Cardinals can carry another bench player. Secondly, Harrison Bader got injured and will start the year on the IL. There’s another bench player who gets to make the team. Third, Justin Williams was granted a fourth option, making his guaranteed roster spot less of a guarantee now.
