Starting Lineup (8)-1B-Anthony Rizzo($5.3M), 2B-Jose Altuve($2.67M), SS-Andrelton Simmons($3.1M), 3B-Matt Carpenter($3.75M), C-Jonathan Lucroy ($3.4M), LF-J.D. Martinez($3M),CF-Jon Jay($3.2M), RF-Jose Bautista($14M).
As a Cardinal homer, I wantedYadier Molina, but at only $3.4 million, Lucroy is very cheap and just as good of a catcher as Molina. While my outfield lacks range, they make up for it with their bats, in particular Bautista. Bautista is my most costly player at $14 million, but for his production and presence I felt it was a must-do. My infield has great power from Rizzo, and great averages from Carpenter and Altuve. Simmons is the best defensive player in the game, so he was a cheap must. My goal with this roster was to find consistent hitters who can hit for average and some power.
