Pete Kozma is the Cardinals' starting shortstop Aaron Gleeman Mar 18, 2013, 10:47 AM EDT There's been no official announcement in the wake of Rafael Furcal's season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery, but manager Mike Matheny made it clear that Pete Kozma will be the Cardinals’ starting shortstop. That's no surprise, as Kozma played shockingly well down the stretch last season after stepping into the lineup for the injured Furcal and his only real competition for the job this spring is Ronny Cedeno. However, based on his minor-league track record Kozma is going to be overmatched as a regular. Kozma has hit just .236 with a .308 on-base percentage and .344 slugging percentage in 671 games as a minor leaguer through age 24, including just .232 with a .292 OBP and .355 SLG in 131 games at Triple-A last season. Aside from his 26-game stint with the Cardinals last season there's nothing in Kozma's track record to suggest he can handle major-league pitching and in fact based on his production at Triple-A he projects as one of the majors' worst hitters. Assuming he turns back into a pumpkin it'll be interesting to see how long of a leash Kozma's late-season magic buys him. 春训成绩比较 G AB R H TB 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB/CS AVG OBP SLG Kozma 14 41 8 14 23 3 0 2 7 3 6 0/0 .341 .386 .561 Cedeno 15 28 8 7 11 1 0 1 5 4 9 0/0 .250 .344 .393 虽然春训只是调整用，不过表现比较好的Kozma得到了先发位置。 -- Cain's perfect game Yes, he Cain!!! http://goo.gl/mN1kv Wednesday, June 13, 2012 IP H R ER BB SO Cain 9.0 0 0 0 0 14 --
