Wow forgot all about Looper, don't even know how he was one of our better starters and a very pleasant surprise last year.

I'll revise my rotation:

1) Carp
2) Wainwright
3) Looper or Mulder
4) Mulder or Looper
5) Piniero/Clement/Reyes

Cardinals.

lineup:

1. Ryan (gritty player) SS, can't stand izturis
2. Rasmus (quick call up) CF
3. Pujols (MVP) 1B
4. Duncan (has holes) LF
5. Glaus (hits best not in cleanup) 3B
6. Ankiel (30 hr potential) RF
7. Molina (progress at bat last year was not a fluke) C
8. Kennedy (can't go anywhere but up) 2B
9. Pitcher


Rotation: w/o Carp.

1. Wainwright (ACE in the making)
2. Looper (solid innings eater)
3. Piniero (move to pen when carp gets back?)
4. Clement (injury concern)
5. Reyes (throw the heat)


GO Cards and I think they'll be better than most people say they are.

No.

Interesting, Cardinals fans!

On paper for me:

1. Ryan (good call) / Izturis (depending on some ST games)
2. Kennedy (I think he'll have a turn around year)
3. Ankiel
4. Pujols
5. Duncan
6. Glaus
7. Molina
8. Izturis/Rasmus/Ludwig

1. Wainright
2. Looper
3. Pinero
4. Reyes
5. Clement

When Carp/Mulder come back I'd have to see who's doing what. Looper could go back into the pen or Clement I guess??

Cards.

I'm not sure if I'll use Carp and/or Mulder until they're available in real life. Heck, I'm not even that confident Pujols is going to be 100%. I'm just hoping the game plays a good game of baseball, then let my Cards rebuilding years begin. :P

[edit]- Doh...totally forgot about "Made of Glass" Glaus. I'd probably be dumping him in a trade for some young talent. I'd almost guarantee he's on the DL by May.

I have a feeling your right, I expect this season to be brutal.

I think we get off to a slow start in real life, and with Pujols elbow nagging him he'll go under the knife to ensure hes ready for next season, and if that happens we are toast.

That said in MLB 2k8 the Cards will be a World Series contender!

i have hope for them. but yeah, they won't win the division or wild card. I love the situation after this year though.

IE:
Mulder coming off the books.
Izzy coming off the books.
Juan-E coming off the books.
A year or so of MLB experience for Ryan, Rasmus.
Wainwright and Carp a awesome 1-2 punch.

Another year of prospects gaining traction and making an impact soon.
( Watch out for Clayton Mortenson.)

The Angel's.

I am a Ca. home grown boy. The only weakness I see is the middle inf. like the Card's. Probabaley will use a platoon for SS. But am looking forward to the new year of ball.
