Dodgers' Puig on Cardinals: 'If we beat them, we can win the World Series'

The San Francisco Giants aren't getting any respect from Yasiel Puig.

The Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder has identified the St. Louis Cardinals as his team's greatest rival in 2015, despite the Giants winning three of the last five World Series.

"If we beat them (Cardinals), we can win the World Series, Puig told MLB.com's Alden Gonzalez. "We just have to get through them."

The Cardinals have reached the postseason in four consecutive seasons, playing their way to the World Series twice.

Puig also took time to speak about his personal expectations Friday, revealing he's looking for more consistency on the lineup card this season.

"I'd like to play one position," Puig added. "I have a really big room in my house. I don't have any Gold Gloves or anything. I need my Gold Glove."

The Cuban played 91 games in right field and 53 at center. With Matt Kemp now out of the picture, prospect Joc Pederson and Andre Ethier are expected to compete for the starting center field job, but Puig could be also see time at center if the injury bug strikes the Dodgers outfield at some point.

The 24-year-old was named a first-time All-Star in 2014, slashing .296/.382/.480 with 16 home runs and 69 RBIs.
