Just three weeks from the start of the 2013 season, the St. Louis Cardinals learned that they would spend it without the services of their incumbent starting shortstop, Rafael Furcal, who is having Tommy John surgery. The guaranteed loss of Furcal, increasingly injury-prone since he entered his 30s, makes shoring up of the position more a necessity for the Cards rather than simply a prudent Plan B. Elvis Andrus' name has come up in conversations for six months and thanks to the new situation, it's time for St. Louis to turn those efforts into a reality.
