Notes:  The Cardinals propensity for making the most out of less than star players made crafting this lineup a bit tricky.  Certain players like Beltran or Berkman had short tenures with the club, but were offensive stars.  On the flip side, Ryan Ludwick may not be the first name you think of when you think of star Cardinals OFers, but he was a long-tenured Cardinal with a great season.

The rotation is very strong.  It may be the strongest rotation of any team I make.  Carlos Martinez got the edge for the #5 spot over Michael Wacha, Jaime Garcia, and Miles Mikolas.
