I think it came as a relative shock for many St. Louis Cardinals fans to hear Jose Oquendo say, “He’s our everyday guy,” when referring to Jose Martinez at first base. I, along with most fans, thought Matt Carpenter was the primary first baseman, with Jedd Gyorko playing third, and Kolten Wong playing second. I assumed Jose would get a start or two at first base each week, moving Carp somewhere else. And, I thought Jose would get some starts at corner outfield positions. It seems I was wrong.
