The 2016 St. Louis Cardinals are going to lean heavily on their internal options after having missed out on the likes of David Price and Jason Heyward in Free Agency. General Manager John Mozeliak seems content, if not comfortable, with the options he has in place.
In 2015, Carlos Martinez broke out in his first full season as a starting pitcher, being selected to the National League All-Star team. Stephen Piscotty stabilized a floundering offensive unit through August and September, and Randal Grichuk showed off his ability to be an elite offensive producer, when he was healthy.
