The St. Louis Cardinals just last week sent Jordan Hicks to the minor league camp. I covered the news and you can read about it here. What was absent from my coverage was the why of the move. At the time of my coverage, fans were simply told that Hicks had been instructed to work on some things.
As of 4:17PM on Monday (yesterday), Derrick Goold was noted as replying to a St. Louis Cardinals fan via social media noting that Hicks’ reassignment may have had more to do with personal issues than performance issues.
