Outside of Tex and McCann they have offensive questions at every position and Mark Kotsay is their opening day center fielder. Am I missing something here?

Not just saying this bc I'm a Mets fan, but I don't see it either. Not saying they are a bad team, but good enough to get past the Mets/Phillies?
Same thing with all these ESPN guys picking the Cubs to make the World Series, some even say to win it. I'll admit, as I get older I don't have the time to follow the game as much as I once did, but I still like to think I follow it closley enough, and the only reason I would see the Cubs making the playoffs is by default, no chance in hell for a title.
