i really like the brewers chances. greinke will get closer to his '09 form now that he's outta kc. marcum gets outta the al east, where he did pretty admirably, and now goes to the nl central where the lineups are not nearly as demanding. squeeze in gallarado in between those two guys and wolf at #4 and i really like that staff. and the lineup will rack up runs in bunches. i don't see them going under .500 at all.

not sure on the amount of wins but its a huge loss for the cards. you don't just replace 20 game winners. now its jaime garcia and jake westbrook as your #2 and #3 starters. after that it gets real dicey. heck even the cubs are looking to have a better rotation now.

agreed, but don't focus on wins (****, having Albert Pujols alone probably gives your staff an extra win per pitcher), which are a near-useless statistic. focus on the fact that the Cards just lost a pitcher who gave you over 200 IP the past two seasons while striking out over 200 hitters both seasons. his WHIP last season was pretty delicious as well.

huge blow to the Cards.

yeah i would say 88 wins might win that division. it will be an interesting race there nonetheless.

i love beating a dead horse. don't you?

[bermuddy]

that's disgusting and a little self serving.

[Banky71]

I agree!

Chances that NL Central winner has less than 85 wins: 85%.

What are the chances that the NL Central winner has less than 80 wins?

Zack Greinke may start year on DL

79 wins for the Brewers may be generous at this rate.

[ultimatespidey81]

the brewers will win more than 79. but you can wish.
