Cardinals reign supreme with NL Utility Silver Slugger win after teammate battle

The St. Louis Cardinals received plenty of love in this year's Silver Slugger Awards ceremony. They had two players nominated for the award at the utility position in Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson.

Both Donovan and Burleson played multiple innings at varying positions. Donnie played most of his games at second base, but he also played left field fairly often, along with some appearances at shortstop. Burly split his time fairly evenly between first base, left field, and right field. The two players' versatility helped manager Oliver Marmol put together a lineup on a day-to-day basis.
