5 cardinals that played their way into the opening day, 3 who played their way

I will be the first to tell you that spring training statistics do not mean much, but since the St. Louis Cardinals want to narrow down their opening day in the next few weeks, you have to compare the player's players and have this factor playing for their decision -making.

Just because a player has a strong spring training session does not mean that he should take up the opening day. For example, take the case of Victor Scott II last year. As many people argued for him to start the focus after he had taken .317/.404/.366 in the warehouse. After a few late injuries in the camp, they left the field depth of the Cardinals' Center field depth.

Well, Scott set in 18 games. SCOTT would then spend more in Triple-A in the season and tried to bring things directly onto the plate.

I say that as a warning story for everyone who has excited you in the camp, but I still think it is worthwhile to compete which players who fight for duty places have done enough to earn a place and which players have fled their possibilities and should start in Triple-A.

Victor Scott II.

Well, again, Victor Scott II! We only talked about you! Apart from all the jokes, Scott has had an impressive camp so far, and although I think I would spend a little more time in Triple-A before I bring it back to St. Louis, I would certainly understand the cardinals on the opening day.

In 29 bats so far in the camp, Scott .345/.457/.522 shows a bit of strength and looks much more comfortable on the plate. SCOTT made remarkable adjustments to his swing last summer when he had to struggle, and after having achieved better results last season, it seems to be in this direction in the camp so far.

We all know that Scott is one of the most dangerous stolen basic threats in baseball, so that speed is a large addition to the installation if it can often increase enough. This time Scott also seems to have a better feeling for the center field, which helps his case even further.

The cardinals have to do the best for Scott's development. If he is ready for the majors, he should start there. If he is not ready, start it in Triple-A. I don't think we can simply say that his performance on the field proves that he is ready (see the example from before), but it is certainly encouraging. Now there is a certain option in midfield that plays so badly that it would be tempting to use Scott, no matter what happens, but here too the cardinals have to think a big picture here.
