Last week, I looked at the infield for the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago Cubs. I gave the advantage, 4-1, to the Cubs for many reasons. If you missed my assessment of the infield, check it out here. Now, it’s the outfield’s turn.
On one hand you have the youth, speed, and the power of Grichuk. On the other hand, you have experience, versatility, and the clutch hitting of Zobrist.
Defensively, Randal Grichuk is a good, if not great, outfielder. He was above league fielding percentage in the outfield and recorded eight assists in CF.
