5. CARDINALS
With so many rotation candidates in play, it's uncertain whether Carlos Martinez, with his awe-inspiring stuff, will be a reliever or starter. Whatever the case, Trevor Rosenthal is staying put at closer for a Cards club that keeps reinventing its bullpen on the fly and keeps coming up with effective solutions.
Think about how dazzling the Martinez-Rosenthal combo looked in Game 2 of the World Series and it's easy to get swept up in the thought of what a weapon they'd be in a full season, especially when flanked by left-handers Kevin Siegrist (0.882 WHIP) and Randy Choate (1.047) and right-hander Seth Maness (2.32 ERA). The Cards could also benefit from the return of former closer Jason Motte. There are arms aplenty here.
