Pete Kozma went 2-for-4 and homered off Arizona's Heath Bell on Tuesday. Even after his stunning emergence at the end of 2012, it seems like the Cardinals expected little from Kozma this year; the Ronny Cedeno signing seemed likely to push him back to Triple-A had Rafael Furcal stayed healthy. As is, Furcal is done and Cedeno is gone, leaving Kozma as the everyday shortstop, and the Cardinals aren't feeling too bad about it after he hit .359 with three homers and five doubles this spring. Tonight's homer, launched to center at Chase Field, ended up conking some poor girl in the head.
