In his first full season of serving as a starting pitcher since 2012, Jaime Garcia really blew what was expected from him in the 2015 season out of the water. Despite winning 100 games and the National League Central title, the Cardinals were faced with some key injuries. Arguably, none of the losses they sustained were expected to be as severe as the loss of Adam Wainwright. The leader of the pitching staff, Wainwright, 34, watched his season reach an abrupt stop when he ruptured his left Achilles tendon in late April while exiting the batter’s box.
