The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports Allen Craig (knee) is likely to open season on the Cardinals' bench. It's not clear whether the decision is injury related, but it sounds like Craig is healthy enough to make the Opening Day roster. With Skip Schumaker set to begin the year on the disabled-list, Tyler Greene projects as the Cardinals' starting second baseman, with Jon Jay starting in centerfield.
