  7. The Cards have a solid lineup. It does lack power, meaning they aren’t hitting 220 home runs….but they have a number of very good hitters.

    For OPS+, I think the numbers will surprise folks. The Cardinals will have Contreras, Nootbaar, Arenado, Donovan, Burleson, Winn and Herrera locks to be above 100. Walker and Scott over the course of an entire season….They’ll have to prove it….

  8. For everyone's reference:

    1. Nootbaar LF
    2. Contreras 1B
    3. Donovan 2B
    4. Arenado 3B
    5. Burleson DH
    6. Herrera C
    7. Walker RF
    8. VS2 CF
    9. Winn SS
