Projecting the St. Louis Cardinals’ 2014 Postseason Roster

Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

Starting Position Players (8): Yadier Molina, Matt Adams, Kolten Wong, Jhonny Peralta, Matt Carpenter, Matt Holliday, Jon Jay, Oscar Taveras

The Cards are going to roll with the same lineup that has gotten them through the large majority of the season, though it seems likely that we’ll see Pete Kozma get a chance at second and Randal Grichuk in right field depending on pitching matchups. Despite the fact that Taveras has finished strong and bumped himself up to a .245 season average, he’s going to face stiff competition from Grichuk, who has hit an incredible .368 with two homers during September while guaranteeing himself a spot on the postseason roster.
