The Cardinals struggled to get production from their outfielders this year. However, that was not the only problem with the lineup. Tommy Edman (227 PAs) and Kolten Wong (208 PAs) took the second and third most plate appearances on the team. Additionally, Edman finished the season with a wRC+ of 90, and Wong finished the season with a wRC+ of 92. For hitters who took so many plate appearances, this is a disappointing output. So, while it is clear that the Cardinals outfield was the key problem in the lineup, it is also clear that Wong and Edman did not help things very much either.
Can Wong and Edman Both Start If the Cardinals Want to Improve the Lineup?
