Every big league baseball team has questions heading into spring training, and here is one of the many the Cardinals must ponder:

He projects to get lots of playing time at second base during the coming season, since the new no-shift rules will put more emphasis on fielding range and make it more difficult for Nolan Gorman to hold up defensively at that position.
And how many people really expect Paul DeJong to rediscover his long swing after his years-long slump?
