As things stand, the 2019 St. Louis Cardinals projected Opening Day lineup is: Matt Carpenter, Paul Goldschmidt, Paul DeJong, Marcell Ozuna, Yadier Molina, Dexter Fowler, Kolten Wong, and Harrison Bader with Miles Mikolas pitching. Mike Shildt seems to have embraced the new idea of batting your best hitter second in an attempt to get him more plate appearances.
I personally do not like this configuration. I would much rather see Goldschmidt hit 3rd and have more opportunities to drive in runs and create more offense.
