Sometimes, when a star player goes down, the team rallies around and comes together, but the Cardinals will have to rally for an entire season.
The loss of Adam Wainwright was the catastrophe of Spring Training, but the other 29 teams certainly don’t feel sorry for St. Louis. The Cardinals went from having one of the best starting rotations in baseball to one with several question marks.

Luckily for the Cardinals, there’s still Albert Pujols.
