Breakdown of infield players.
Catcher
Perez: .292 with 13 HR's and 79 RBI's last year. Solid, young player.
Molina: .319 with 12 HR's and 80 RBI's last year. 4 time all star, 6 time gold glove, silver slugger.
Advantage: Cardinals
First Base
Hosmer: Last year hit .302. 1 HR every 36.65 AB's and an RBI every 7.89 AB's.
Adams: Last year hit .284. 1 HR every 17.11 AB's an RBI every 5.80 AB's.
Advantage: Cardinals
Second Base
Infante: Career journeyman with a .279 career average.
Wong: Rookie who hit .391 this spring.
Advantage: Royals (maybe)
Third Base
Moustakas: Last year hit .233 with 12 HR's and 42 RBI's.
Carpenter: Last year hit .318 with 11 HR's and 78 RBI's.
Advantage: Cardinals
Shortstop
Escobar: Hit .234 last year with 4 HR's, 52 RBI's and 57 runs scored.
Peralta: Hit .303 last year with 11 HR's, 55 RBI's and 50 runs scored.
Advantage: Cardinals
RECAP
Royals have a solid young catcher that might favorably match up against most catchers, but not one of the top catchers of all time. Didn't even touch on handling pitchers. Royals hit just over .230 on the left side of the infield while the Cards hit over .300. Not even close there. The right side is closer, much of it depending on how Wong plays as a rookie and how Infante comes back from injury.

God, the sig pic that I create will be incredibly epic! The end of the regular season can't arrive quick enough.

Do I even bother with the outfield?
Left Field
Gordon: Career .269 hitter with 20 HR's and 81 RBI's last year.
Holliday: Career .311 hitter with 22 HR's and 94 RBI's last year.
Advantage: Cardinals
Center Field
Cain: Hit .251 last year.
Bourjos: Hit .274 last year.
Advantage: Push
Right Field
Aoki: Hit .286 and scored 80 runs last year.
Craig: Hit .315 and scored 71 runs along with 13 HR's and 97 RBI's.
Advantage: Cardinals
RECAP
Not much production for either team in CF. Cardinals are vastly superior at either corner in the outfield.
