Once upon a time, the Cardinals had a normal outfield. They had three above average regulars with a capable fourth outfielder. And since this is a fairy tale, let’s also say they have a pretty good prospect waiting in AAA for when someone gets hurt. One day, this will not be a fairy tale. Today is not that day.
Fear not. Believe or not, what I just described does not accurately depict most MLB outfields. While the Cardinals do not have the ideal setup for an outfield, they do have some promise, some potential that they can hit that ideal.
