The St. Louis Cardinals have done a bit to eliminate the outfield glut in their system, having traded away both Stephen Piscotty and Magneuris Sierra in trades this offseason. The latter deal produced the All-Star outfielder Marcell Ozuna, who along with veteran Dexter Fowler and breakout Tommy Pham will surely comprise the starting outfield complement.
So then the question remains, who will fill the backup spots? Or should we say spot, singular? With Jose Martinez surely on the team absent being traded, the Redbirds have a player who can float between backup-first-baseman and corner outfielder (albeit not the finest of fielders).
