Sorry about the late post but I was over here.
Rotoworld comments that Zach Duke will face one of the toughest lineups he will see this season in the ST Louis Cardinals.
I understand Pujols is one of the best hitters in baseball and Jim Edmonds is no slouch, but other than those two hitters, where is the fear coming from?
David Eckstein? Abraham Nunez? John Mabry? Yadier Molina? Hector Luna? Larry Walker?
I don't think so. The Cards are a house of Cards and are my early prediction of 1st round play-off losers.
This team is no different than the Oakland A's clubs of Hudson, Zito and Mulder who couldn't hit enough to win. And they had a much better offense with Giambi, Chavez, Tejada, Damon, Dye and Ramon Hernandez.
FWIW: Duke has faced MLW, PHI, CHC, COL, FLA ATL, LA, HOU, and NYM. Of these nine teams, only COL and LA have worse line-ups than the Cardinals. The Mets are even.
