With Aaron Miles out of the picture and the Cardinal's MI's on the farm too inexperienced for the everyday job, might the Cardinals sign Juan Uribe to play Second Base? If so, his contract might look like something in the 10 cheeseburgers and a side of fries per game range.
But seriously. I hate the Cards, but WTF are they doing this offseason? Their shitty bullpen isn't getting any new arms, their horrible starting rotation isn't getting any new faces and there seems to be no one in terms of new offensive production on the radar. I'm simply baffled. Maybe they're just giving up.
Same goes for the Brewers. They lost two top of the rotation starters, their closer and two other bullpensmen. What is their 2009 game plan? Hit the fuck out of the ball (Fielder, Braun, Weeks, Hardy) and then hope the other team forgets to bat? I don't think Dave Bush or Parra is an elite SP and Yovanni Gallardo, aka Ben Sheets Jr., can't stay healthy.
The Cubs are going to have an easy season.
I heard the Cardinals GM say they do have money to spend so I think they will make some moves. Many teams have been quiet so far this off season. Things should pick up soon. The Cubs will be the best in the central Division though and one of the best in the National League.
