There were plenty of questions about the makeup of the 2021 St. Louis Cardinals team during our weekly chat with Post-Dispatch readers. Here are some of the highlights.
Q: If Matt Carpenter isn't considered a regular and does not get that corresponding amount of at-bats, how does he get the opportunity to find his stroke (if he still can)? How much patience will the Cardinals have with him?
A: That is a question that may have to be answered but is not being asked just yet by the front office. Carpenter deserves an entire spring training to give the club an idea of what he has to offer -- both offensively, and defensively at second base.
