The Cardinals’ Opening Day Lineup Has One Massive Unknown | Cards Central 365

The Cardinals haven’t even taken the field in spring training yet, and the Opening Day lineup is already a puzzle. The leadoff spot alone could flip the entire batting order, and that’s before the first “competition” quote drops from camp. On this episode of Cards Central 365, Joe Roderick and Brenden Schaeffer make their best early calls on the St. Louis Cardinals 2026 Opening Day lineup, including the leadoff debate between Masyn Winn and Victor Scott II, where Lars Nootbaar fits if healthy, and how the middle of the order might look with Alec Burleson, Iván Herrera, Nolan Gorman, and Jordan Walker. They also get into the big question that won’t go away, is Herrera catching or DHing, plus early roster fits like JJ Wetherholt and who could grab playing time in the outfield. ⭐️ Become an STL Sports Central Insider: https://stlsportscentral.com/2025/11/15/stl-sports-central-insiders 👑 Presented by DraftKings.
