ST. LOUIS -- This is the third piece in a five-part Around the Horn series that is taking a position-by-position look at the Cardinals' projected starters and backup options heading into the 2019 season. After examining the club's catching depth and corner infield options in recent weeks, let's move on to the middle infielders.
Projected starters: Kolten Wong (2B) and Paul DeJong (SS)
It's the same duo the Cardinals hoped would anchor the middle of their infield last year, though injuries hindered DeJong and Wong at different points in the 2018 season.
