This team will NOT make the playoffs. Poor (at best) pitching (starting and relief both) except for Cueto, Bailey (not healthy) and Cordero. The acquisition of Renteria and Lewis were worthless. Cards and Brewers made offseason acquisitions that have helped immensely. Berkman, Marcum etc. Just too much to overcome. Last year we won by beating up on the poor teams. This year, we can't seem to beat them....example Pirates, Dodgers....Third place at best finish. We need $$$$$. Team playing poorly at home equals lower attendance, which means we can't afford to get
expensive players. How do you win?
