Re: *** Official St Louis Cardinals to the 2006 World Series Thread **
JRod may be back in triple A next week. Although with Bigbie going on the DL JRod will have a better chance of making the club. According to the St Louis Post Dispatch JRod, Chris Duncan, John Gall and Skip Schumaker are fighting for one or two outfield spots. I would not be surprised if Aaron Miles starts at second base instead of Junior Spivey or at least replaces him early in the season.

C Molina SS Eckstein [/ QUOTE ] These guys are serviceable, but not core players, or even average major league regulars. The Cards are giving up much too much at several places on the diamond.

I could see the Cards making the series. They won't be winning it though.

Re: *** Official St Louis Cardinals to the 2006 World Series Thread **
Please elaborate. After the first month or two, his offense improved dramatically. His defense is top 5 in all of baseball. Plus, he's super young and getting better by the day - it's quite reasonable to assume that in his 2nd full season he'll take a very real step forward.

[/ QUOTE ] Eckstein turned out to be one of the best SS in the National League last year, as well as a very good lead off man. He works the count, gets on base a lot, and you will never see anybody bust their ass harder than he does. I think saying that he is not even an average major league baseball player is crazy. He is a perfect fit for a team like St. Louis. Now will he drop off some this year? Maybe, but he will still be a WAY above average baseball player and one of the keys to the Cards success. B.

Re: *** Official St Louis Cardinals to the 2006 World Series Thread ***
I'm concerned about the OF depth as well. But I have high hopes for some of that Cardinal magic to work wonders on Encarnacion - I smell a career year coming. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I think having Rolen back will be good for Edmonds as well, less pressure I would think. If he, Rolen and Pujols stay healthy, it doesn't get better than those 3 in the NL, IMO. The Brewers concern me more than any other team in the division, because I think Weeks, Fielder, and Hardy are going to be better than people are predicting (in the generic sense, not the PECOTA sense). But I think they're still a year away from being a major threat.
