Craig will be the primary backup LF and RF next year, Berkman will play left, and Holiday will shift to right. Craig is also going to be the reserve 3B.
I still can't ****ing believe that they are going to start Theriot at SS over Ryan and let that ****ing douchelord Schumaker keep his job. He's the worst everyday infielder in baseball.
Oh, but Berkman hitting second in front of Pujols could really make this a dangerous lineup. He does a tremendous job of working the count and drawing walks.

welllllll didn't Ryan save like 26 runs last year with his defense? I think Theriot will produice more than 26 runs for the Cardinals next year. But a pitching staff that is designed to put the ball in play on the ground instead of strike outs is taking a big hit on their defense to put some offense on the field. But, we saw last years results. We had to get some offense into the line up.
FTR, I would like to have a "real" 2B too and have Shu take the super sub role but Tony loves the guy and I'm still glad he's the manager and not some one else.
I do like this line up offensively. Get me a "real" 2B and we are good to go,
Theriot
Berkman
Pujols
Holliday
Rasmus
Molina
Freese
Pitcher
Shumaker
