BenFred: Seven Cardinals thoughts after summer camp's seventh intrasquad game

Seven Cardinals thoughts after summer camp's seventh intrasquad game ...

1. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt all but confirmed the members of his starting outfield after Sunday’s intrasquad game.

“Harrison (Bader) is having a really nice camp,” Shildt said. “We know we’re going to run Dexter (Fowler) out there. And (Tyler) O’Neill has done his part to secure opportunity.”

None of this should come as a surprise, as the Cardinals referred to Bader and Fowler as returning starters entering spring training.

Lane Thomas was prioritized behind O’Neill last season, and he did not force the Cardinals to change that thinking during spring training or this summer camp.
