The questions I want answered by the end of spring training

[Jeffy25]

Feel free to post yours.

I want to know...since Allen Craig has been doing so well, does he have a shot to make the team? Wallace and Freese were already sent down, it appears Mather will be playing third come opening day

Is shumaker going to play second?

Will Rasmus be in the opening day lineup?

Is Perez the closer?

What's going on with Tyler Greene? He has done well, my favorite prospect.

Could Hoffpauir be a backup?

These are the questions that I have an idea about, but can't wait to find the answer at the end of Spring Training, what are you's?

[DarthJaker]

Will Motte be Closer or Setup?
Will Rasmus be and everyday 25-30 HR player?
What's going on with Blake Hawksworth?
Will Greene make a big impact?

Shouldn't you guys quit spamming the boards and keep this in your St. Louis Cardinals thread so the rest of us don't mistake it for something important

These are questions that can't be answered until after the season, amirite?

Right, and sorry fili, just uping it again. Houston can move it if he wants

I am looking at what will be answered by april 6th or whatever opening day is

If I could..

But, this is fine, as I don't think it was intended to be JUST for Cardinals questions, but rather anyone.

Wow two cards fans chime in and the most important question for the team

Will Chris Carpenter be healthy and the dominate pitcher he was from 04-06?

goes unasked?

Well that is obviously the glaring question. I was stating the other questions. I think anyone can point that out.

I was looking at all the other questions. I'm sure Carp will be healthy by the end of spring training, that is more of a how healthy and durable will he be all yaer

[gRYFYN1]

But i'll exapnd this to all teams ... For the Sox:

Will Lowell be healthy enough to start?

Will Lowrie be consistent enough to earn a starting spot?

Will Youkilis show the power he displayed last year or return go back to what he was?

Is Buchholz ready to jump to the majors?

Will Ortiz return to the slugger he was or has he caught Mo Vaugh-itis?

Will the Rockies suck again?

The Rockies COULD be lightning in a bottle this year.

I honestly, believe Ortiz is going to start slipping, I dunno. I don't see him as a durable first basemen upon initial glance. I'd rather have youk honestly.

Ortiz has already started slipping...and he's not a "first basemen."

I'm worried about the Rockies pitching...as I am every year but this year it looks pretty weak.

Without Francis, we have to rely on Cook and Jimenez and they aren't always reliable.

The bullpen is even worse...Street hasn't looked good in the spring thus far...

I just don't know about the pitching.

Good old Billy Beane

[Coach Owens]

Ortiz has already started slipping...and he's not a "first basemen."

How much of that was bad luck, though? All of his %s stayed the same for the most part (LD%, GB% and FB%), his BABIP just dropped like a rock. I could see him rebounding quite a bit next year.
