Yay Beltran! Pretty reasonable deal I think.

Great signing. When Craig gets healthy -

Furcal
Beltran
Holliday
Berkman
Freese
Craig
Molina
Descalso/Skip
Waino/Carp/Garcia/Lohse/Westbrook



shweet.

I think the best lineup would be

Molina
Berkman
Beltran
Holliday
Freese
Furcal
Craig
P
Skip

But your order is more likely

83 WINS TOPS

CRESTEN HATH SPOKEN!

83 is all it takes when you play with the shlub cubs, shlub brewers, and shlub pirates.

I like that lineup alot. We were discussing whether they would hit Beltran in the two hole. I like it and hope that they do. You could also hit Craig there and move everyone back one.

Well, I don't (and probably won't) post here much anymore, but the Cardinals look pretty good. The best pitching isn't coming from injured Carpenter or sluggish Wainwright, which should be good news when both of those guys are back and pitching well. There's always plenty of luck involved during short periods of time, but I think its obvious that the 2012 edition of the St Louis Cardinals are a legit contender.
