Just not sure how much I can beleive Cain carries a big load again this year. Rockies could be a real team to watch this year, invested alot of money in home grown talent and have a team that can out slug you. If they can just get it together for more then 60% of the season and not have a drop off like always
The phillies are the chick pick and rightfully so, but may struggle to get runs if Domonic Brown can't step up here. Its asking alot of a rookie but he will be in a veteran lineup.
I think you have to take a long look at the Cardinals and Brewers. Cardinals depth of pitching I believe gives them the upper edge and depending on the Pujols contract situation could really complicate their season. If no contract and you have to hear all year of Albert leaving I love the Brewers to take this division. Just to big of a distraction for St. Louis if he doesn't sign. I just don't see Cincy continuing their strong run again this year.
Wild card for NL I would not be surprised if the Braves were not their at the end to challenge along with the Brew Crew and Rockies. It will be really interesting if it ends up being the Cards and Giants battling for that last spot.
