No, I’m not going to sit here and try and spin up some explanation for why a current six-game slide and 7-10 overall mark in Spring Training action should be reason to panic.
I mean, the Cubs and Pirates are both 6-13 this spring. Last year’s World Series champion Kansas City Royals are 10-13.
There are far too many factors in play to make any sort of meaningful judgement about a club based on wins and losses in Spring Training.
With that said, there are some questions for the 2016 St. Louis Cardinals, and the answers to those questions haven’t been all that positive.
