The St. Louis Cardinals look to have plenty of position players to fill any spot on the field, but that does not necessarily mean those are all quality candidates. While the infield looks more crowded than the outfield, maneuvering players, especially high-level prospects, around multiple spots would not be the best way to clear up any position logjam the Cardinals face in 2026.
Moving JJ Wetherholt to the outfield could prevent his development as he nears the majors.
Currently, the Cardinals have an infield alignment from left to right of Nolan Arenado, Masyn Winn, Brendan Donovan, and Willson Contreras.
