Cardinals seek consistency as roster options open at key spots
The team weighs multiple players at shortstop with Busse earning first chance amid rising bat potential while Kellener Tyson or Anderson could win the job next month. In the outfield Lou Brock and Jose Cruz bring speed but errors loom. Bernie Carbo likely to start in right as Ted Simmons anchors catching and Joe Torre solidifies third. Pitching should stabilize if defense and hitting cooperate after Spinks’s season injury.
