Winter Warm Up: Wainwright weighs in on opening day starter debate

Greetings from Cardinals Winter Warm-Up at the Hyatt Regency in downtown St. Louis. Stay tuned here for news, notes and quotes throughout the event. Team Post-Dispatch will have you covered from start to finish.

Who should face the Cubs on opening day?

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny declined to answer the question Monday, saying he still has plenty of time before April 2 to decide which starter will take the mound when the defending world champion Cubs come to town for a nationally televised night game that starts the 2017 season.

The manager's two options are obvious: Adam Wainwright, or Carlos Martinez.
