ST. LOUIS -- As the Cardinals narrow their search for an impact bat this offseason, most would agree that addressing the deficiency through the addition of a corner infielder would be the path of least resistance. It is not, however, the only open road.
The club's right-field situation remains a bit of a conundrum. For while the Cardinals are not lacking in options, they are deep in questions about potential productivity.
Will Dexter Fowler rebound from a career worst season? Does Jose Martinez's offensive boost outweigh his defensive limitations? How would Tyler O'Neill fare with a full season's worth of at-bats?
