Umm.. this is gonna be great.. seriously we may be a 5th or even last place team.. am I wrong?
We have done nothing this offseason. The pirates don't have much to do usually and they are always in the bottom of the division. With us tending to be in the top of the division this offseason is terrible so far compared to everyone else (with the exception of the pirates and maybe the reds)
Yes,your wrong.Omar Infante?Neal Cotts?The Astros have made a lot of moves,but outside of Tejada
and Valverde they picked up a lot of crap.The Brewers signed Gagme for 10mil.,but what will they
get from him post steroids.It's not the number of moves a team makes,but quality moves made to
address specific needs.Everyone just needs to chill out.
Yes, they haven't made any major moves but at least they're moves. We get to add a 25 year A prospect to the list while losing edmonds. We haven't made any effort so far fixing our SP which is the major neeed for us at this point.

I get that but have the Cardinals made any quality moves? I cant say they have.. I'm fine I just dont see whats been so great for us to think we have a chance.. then again the off season isnt over..
Well if Prior is healthy (BIG IF) and Colon is Healthy (AL Cy Young i dont even wanna know what he can do in the NL lol) we would have an amazing rotation in the late part of the season. 1. Carp 2. Colon 3. Prior 4. Mulder 5. Pinero.
NL Central: 5th or last place team?
