With two of the three planned starting outfielders on the injured list for the time being, the Cardinals have a much more uncertain starting lineup than how the season began. Two of the three are easy enough: Dylan Carlson has both the performance and prospect pedigree for a start. Justin Williams doesn’t really have either, but what he does have is some sort of potential ability to start in the future. The rest of the outfield doesn’t really, so he’s a starter by default. And that’s it.
So I wondered. What’s the optimal starting lineup right now then?
