40-man roster going into spring with options left


Hey all. Long time reader, brand new poster. In RB's article on options, I noticed some in the comments wonder about who has options left and how many. I follow the transaction rules and Cards transactions very closely, and thought I would contribute this list of those on the Cards 40-man roster going into spring training with the number of option years remaining in parentheses. If there is no number, that means that the player is either out of options or has 5 years or more of major league service time and thus may not be sent down to the minor leagues without his consent. Cheers and feel free to send me any questions about the transaction rules.
