As the Cardinals uneasily lurch towards the All-Star break, it’s hard to get a handle on the team. Every time you think you have them pigeonholed, they change the narrative up a bit. Think them through in your head. Before the season, they were an outfield-led team with two potential MVP candidates in left and center. The biggest question mark in the lineup was probably Paul DeJong- he’d had such an odd batting line in 2017 that there was some fear that the league would figure him out. Fast forward to today- the outfielders have all disappointed to one degree or another, and DeJong lit the world on fire before breaking his hand and spending a few months on the DL.
