5 bench options the St. Louis Cardinals should consider after the lockout

Josh Harrison
If the club is looking for a platoon option at second base, Josh Harrison could be just the glove and bat the Cardinals need.
Harrison has played second, third, shortstop, and all three outfield slots. Overall, Harrison has a .968 fielding percentage. The righty hit .279/.341/.400 in 2021 with a 103+ wRC. He had 33 doubles, two triples, and eight home runs. Additionally, he had 60 RBI, 31 walks, and nine stolen bases.
Harrison would be an excellent situational option for the Cardinals as he can play multiple positions and has a pretty good bat. While he’s primarily played second base, he could be an option to help if Tommy Edman needs a break or needs to play elsewhere in the field.
The 34-year-old would be a strong veteran presence in the dugout with nine seasons of service in the majors.
