We are dealing with a small sample size, but a small sample size combined with previous MLB and MiLB stats combined with projections tell us that Dakota Hudson beginning the season in the starting rotation was a bad idea. The Cardinals gambled that the young, inexperienced righty could replace any potential setbacks in the rotation, and it was clear he was needed almost immediately into Spring Training. 19 strikeouts to 18 walks last year in the bullpen certainly did not suggest a starting rotation caliber player right now and the results so far agree with that assessment.
Yelich singlehandedly beats the Cardinals 10-7 (or so it seems)
