Pitchers and catchers have reported to the St. Louis Cardinals‘ Spring Training facilities. As I sit here typing away in my 2011 World Series Champions hoodie, the Cardinals’ players are enjoying the nice warm Florida air and participating in baseball activities. They are in the beginning stages of the defense of their 2015 NL Central title, something they have all but been eliminated from doing again.
Despite all the hoopla of the offseason and our disagreements on who the club added or didn’t add, we are finally here. Now, games don’t start for another couple of weeks, and position players have not yet officially reported, but this is a start.
