Day 36: Mets @ Cardinals

While I was out this weekend, the Cardinals sent several players out to Minor League camp, which leaves 40 players on the Major League spring training roster. That number will have to be reduced to 25 over the next two weeks, and several decisions are left to be made. Who will take the fifth rotation spot? Will Matt Adams or Ronny Cedeno be left off the bench? Does Fernando Salas take the final bullpen spot? How will playing time at second base be divided?
Having spent most of his spring at second base, engaged in a long-term duel with Matt Carpenter for playing time at his natural position, Daniel Descalso has started roving around the infield.

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny has said all along that Daniel Descalso could see time at shortstop with Matt Carpenter looking impressive at second base. That time comes Monday.
