Cardinals' Jhonny Peralta: Looks like starter at third base

Peralta is likely to start at third base on Opening Day, while Jedd Gyorko is expected to serve as a utility infielder, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

Analysis:

We've had similar reports recently, but Langosch is gleaning the likelihood from manager Mike Matheny's comments, which appear to hint at the Opening Day plans. Despite Peralta's potential for 20 home runs in a full season, Peralta's playing time may be his biggest asset as a fantasy player. With that possibly in flux as the year progresses, his ceiling remains quite low in most fantasy games.
