Coming off a World Series appearance in 2013, the Cardinals look like prohibitive favorites to return to the postseason in 2014, with a core of talented young players. But that doesn't mean spring training has been without intrigue. Rookie Kolten Wong is auditioning to become the starting second baseman. New shortstop Jhonny Peralta is trying to move on from the drug suspension that cut his season short last year. A battle is raging for the fifth spot in the rotation. And emerging superstar Matt Carpenter has a new contract. Best of all, Opening Day is just a few weeks away. —William Powell
