BenFred: Hudson's case for Cardinals' rotation is building, groundout after groundout

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. • When early March, a microphone and John Mozeliak mix, the Cardinals’ president of baseball operations knows the question will come.

Tan glove on his left hand, hat pulled down low over his eyes, Hudson gave Houston a problem in Friday night’s 6-3 Cardinals win.

Now, to be fair, the 2017 World Series champs did not offer the potent lineup they will present when games count. Their starters featured Jake Marisnick, Tony Kemp, Yuli Gurriel, Robinson Chirinos, then a bunch of names you would not recognize. This group would not do damage in the American League.
