Spring training is almost here and the St. Louis Cardinals are about to start playing games again. What are three predictions for this spring?

Have no fear, St. Louis Cardinals baseball is almost back. On Wednesday, pitchers and catchers are due to report to beautiful Jupiter, Florida for the start of spring training.

While only pitchers and catchers have to be there on the 17th, other position players like Paul Goldschmidt and DeJong are already down there getting reps. The general report date is the 22nd and team workouts will ramp up then. After that, games begin on the 28th.

Almost a year after spring was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be plenty to watch and break down. By the end of spring, there should be some more clarity about the way this team will look in 2021. Here are three predictions for what will happen in spring training.
