This afternoon the St. Louis Cardinals face off against the Houston Astros. Starting for the Cardinals will be Miles Mikolas, the former Major Leaguer who went to Japan for a fresh start. The Cardinals’ front office liked what they saw enough to offer him a two year deal with the expectation that he would be the Cardinals’ fifth starter this year.
To this point his performance on the field has not been up to what fans or the front office had to have been hoping for. Given, it is just Spring Training and these games do not matter one bit in the long run.
