I love spring training. I love seeing what is in store both for the big club and for the players to come. I admit, however, that as I was growing up I hated Spring Training because I felt that the “big boys” never saw enough playing time. As I have grown in age, I have come to appreciate watching the “young guns” find their footing and seeing just what the future may provide.
As the St. Louis Cardinals are looking at what Jason Heyward called their aging core, this year’s Spring Training should provide a great field upon which the “young guns” will show up.
