Is it unrealistic to believe that a bunch of Cards players not named Pujols will revert to their mean career numbers next season? I think their rotation aside from Wainwright and a still fragile Carp is kind of overrated. They have Lohse too, but I'm unimpressed with their back end. Their bullpen? Aside from Franklin, it isn't better than ours. Their lineup, at least their 2-5 hitters should do plenty of damage, but I don't see them as dominant 1-8. I'm not saying that we are any better, but it isn't impossible to envision an actual race in the Central.
