LMAO!
Bob Roy's stats have gone down every year and continues to get hurt, and Wandy had his best performance last year and didn't even win 20 games. He has to prove he can do it consistently first, let alone improve his win total from a career best with an offense that lacks a hitter that had 200 hits last year. (Tejada)
I can't even believe you think Myers is going to win 17, that is laughable. He will be lucky to win 10 to 12 games. Don't you think the Phillies would have kept him if they even thought he had a chance to win 17 games? His best year for wins was 2003 with 14, and the Phillies offense is by far better then the Astros! He gives up a ton of Home Runs which doesn't bold well for him in minute maid. His era has been closer to 5 then 4 the last couple of years. What makes you think he is just going to have this career year?
I think Berkman can hit 30 if he stays healthy, but he is going to need help from Carlos Lee who needs to stay healthy and off the twinkies! I don't think Pence will get 30, and I'm curious to see if pitchers will make the adjustments like he did to improve himself last year. He is a good player.
Castro has to prove he is capable to be promoted to the major leagues for you can even pencil him, that position remains a big hole for the team. You should know from the Towles experiment that you never assume a guy is going to be good just because he has a few plate appearances.
Feliz will be an upgrade, but will not fill the void of Tejadas production.
The pitching staff isn't pretty good at all, they are horrible, most of their era's are over 4.50. Brian Moehler is absolutely horrible, he shouldn't even be starting, let alone come in for relief. His ERA was almost 6.
I would hope for Drayton to lower prices on drinks!
WE DON'T QUIT AT HALF TIME!

Yep -- pretty much banking on star alignment. Or,
What if Carpenter and Wainwright don't have Cy Young caliber seasons [concurrently] again? And, what if The Cardinals get stuck with the Matt Holliday who showed up for the post-season (the 2-12 impostor who dropped that fly ball)?
Then what? In spite of having Carpenter, Wainwright, Holliday, and Fat Albert -- they only managed to win 91 games last season in an [alleged] weak division. Management must not be doing something right -- and, it won't get any better with Big Mac (in my opinion).
... Anyhow, what then?
Are we counting on The Reds, or The Pirates to win the division? The Brewers, ..., OK, maybe (but they're not a resounding candidate -- at least not on paper, with Prince being one veggie burger away from ripping those already over-sized pants).
The Cubs ... I won't hold my breath.
...
I am crossing my fingers for the stars to align ;)
"Nah, I don't think so. More like chewed out. I've been chewed out before."

only 1 more week till the season starts.
so far, Berkman has had surgury, and Roy O, has a hammy, making him look more like Roy Old.
Wandy looks bad, but I don't worry bout preseason, and think he will be fine. Paulino looks good, and he is a huge Xfactor if the team is going to be any good. Bats look good, but again its preseason. Good to see Towles hitting well and gaining confidence. The bullpen hasn't figured itself out, but it could end up being a strength, at the worst, not a big weakness. This team has no depth.
This is a below .500 team. I hope I'm wrong.
