Other than Kim’s specific role, this is lining up with my prediction so far.
Hudson is starting the third game of the regular season.
Martinez is also in the rotation.
Kim will play a late-inning role.
Gomber and Ponce made the team.
Highly unlikely they will open with 17 pitchers.
Some think the latter means that Dean will make the team. I am not seeing it. If they think the Cards are not going with three catchers, they are ignoring what Mo said. But I read one team reporter as recently as today assert Martinez would be the closer despite Shildt having basically announced CMart would be in the rotation several times recently…
