For the first time in my brief VEB tenure, I’m submitting this story from the road. I’m running a half marathon this weekend, probably literally as this posts (wish me luck!), and traveling to it has left me a little short on writing time. Luckily, I have a few notes I’d planned to expand into one article apiece, and they happen to tie together thematically. More’s the pity for future me- hopefully the runner’s high comes with some article ideas.
With that bit of unnecessary background information out of the way, let’s get down to business. The Cardinals have cycled through a lot of pretty marginal relievers this year.
