The Cardinals did not sign free agent right-handed slugger Mark Reynolds to be a platoon partner for lefty Matt Adams. Let’s make that clear. The job is Adams’ unless he shows some significant regression this season. However, there were plenty of reasons that a bat like the one Reynolds possesses was needed on a team that was so power-starved last season. While Reynolds may not be taking away at bats from Adams regularly, he can definitely be used to pick and choose the days off that Big City will get through the course of the season. If nothing else, Reynolds takes pressure off of Adams being the only option at first base, like he was for the majority of 2014.
