The St. Louis Cardinals offense may in fact be the absolute strength of the team.
With stars such as Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, Willson Contreras, and Tyler O’Neill, the offense looks prepared to return to its former glory from the days of prime Albert Pujols.
Fans certainly like what they’re seeing this spring out of players such as Juan Yepez, Jordan Walker, Masyn Winn, and Nolan Gorman.
The young stars may ultimately force the Cardinals’ hand as Opening Day nears.
On Twitter, one fan made a bold statement, saying that the Cardinals lineup will ultimately prove to be one of the best in baseball.
This offense is gonna be one of the best in Baseball. #STLCards

This prediction could certainly come true if everything goes according to plan.
The offense is obviously filled with some very talented hitters who could carry the team to great heights.
While the starting rotation remains a bit of a question mark, the offense certainly looks good.
Tommy Edman, Brendan Donovan, Lars Nootbaar, and Dylan Carlson also cannot be overlooked as they look to contribute to what appears to be a very strong lineup.
The Cardinals scored 772 runs last season and were tied with the New York Mets for the fifth most in all of baseball.
They were largely carried by the MVP-caliber performances of Goldschmidt and Arenado, as well as a strong second half by Pujols.
With Contreras now in the fold, St. Louis is prepared to do some more damage and return to the postseason for the fifth consecutive year.
The Cards won 93 games and earned an NL Central title in 2022.
