I think the positions might be different.

Hardly. AJ DH? Lough leading off v a LHP and playing CF?

I meant the starting pitchers and the guys playing. Not what position they were in.. Argue a lot?

How are we supposed to know what you mean if you can't say it. We'll most likely be facing a LHP, so Lough will be on the bench, and Cruz LF, Pearce DH, and hopefully Schoop 2B, AGonz 3B.

After the comment Jiminez made concerning how great the defense is, this crew playing behind him today is kind of ironic.

Jimenez. It's spelled correctly in the post you quoted. Why does this mistake keep happening?

I thought the original was incorrect. Since you mentioned it, I looked it up. Turns out I was wrong. Happens.

Does anyone know if Gausman will get another start before ST is completed?

... No DH for the Pirates today....

Joe Kelly was the first Cardinals pitcher to bat in a spring training game this year. He went 3 for 3 (all singles), drove in 2 runs, pitched 5-2/3 innings and allowed 1 earned run. Yet, he's still probably trailing Carlos Martinez for the 5th starter spot.

Martinez dazzles

The highlight of the day was Carlos Martinez's one-run, three-hit work for 5 1/3 innings as the Cardinals' starter. For the spring, Martinez has given up only two runs and eight hits in 15 1/3 innings as he continues to make it hard for manager Mike Matheny not to put him in the rotation at the start of the season.

Final spring question: Kelly or Martinez?

Mozeliak and Matheny have taken turns holding their opinions close. Matheny teases that he might withhold the fifth starter?s identity until the season gets under way, on March 31 in Cincinnati.

?We don?t have to make a decision today or tomorrow, so why should we?? Mozeliak asked during Tuesday?s break in the Grapefruit League schedule.

Kelly was arguably the most effective starter for the Cards (9-3, 2.28 ERA in 87 IP as starter) in the second half of last season, while Martinez settled comfortably into an 8th inning setup role.

Wainwright pitched 8 shutout innings Friday, using only 83 pitches, allowing only 3 hits and no runs, but he went 0-3 and left 3 runners on base. Bum!

Following Wainwright in the rotation will be Wacha, Miller, Lynn, and either Kelly or Martinez. Lynn has been a little inconsistent, fanning 10 in just 4 innings 2 starts ago but, in his last outing, he walked three and struck out five and wasn't as efficient for 80 pitches as the Cardinals have desired this spring.
