Feels like a lot of turnover but only 2 new first-time Cards

Post by StatmanCrothers »

On the opening day roster, only

Kip Wells
Ryan Franklin

are first time Cardinals
Returning former Cardinals are:

Adam Kennedy
Russ Springer

That's only 4 new faces. It seems like more I think because of the new faces in the rotation.

But all in all, this might be a lot less turnover than normal. How many first time Cardinals were on last year's opening day roster?

I don't know how I forgot about Rincon and his 4IP. I think you got it though.

That's because you were MIA from GRB for too long. Now we have to infuse you with Cards info in a mere eight hours. That's a tall task.
