Has anyone determined who pitches for them after a hopefully healthy Josh Johnson and a solid at best #2? I think they contend for a wildcard but thats about it.

They’re content to just sell tickets to the new stadium.

If you go on ESPN or somewhere and look at their depth chart…they’ve got a LOT of holes.

Or Punto? Or Aaron Miles? Or Joe Thurston? Or any other warm bodies the Cardinals have thrown out there?

One thing the Cardinals have proven during the TLR era was that you don’t need a Chase Utley or Joe Morgan to win the WS. I think they invest more in their bullpen catcher than they have second base.

This might be a double whammy to the Pheelies. Not only do the Marlins become legitimate contenders it might force St. Louis to invest their abundance of new cash on a SS, namely Rollins. They would probably do the Buehrle thing too, and still have a few bucks available for a quality Second Baseman. What a tangled web we weave.
