Sports Columnist Ben Frederickson of the St. Louis Post Dispatch shares his thoughts on the Cardinals' lineup as we begin the 2023 baseball season. How will rookie Jordan Walker impact the club?

Ben also reflects on last season's impact of future Hall of Famer Albert Pujols on the team and the city of St. Louis.
