NL Central:

1. Cubs (by a mile)
2. Cardinals ( a team with Pujols in the heart of its lineup can't do too badly)
3. Reds
4. Astros (No Pettitte, no Clemens, no winning)
5. Pirates (why not? This spot seems to be their favorite.)

Look at the date on the post...2/2006...prior to last season...

I still disagree with your projection, MVB.

Why rate the Cubs higher than the Cardinals (featuring Pujols)?

Soriano won't turn around the Cubs organization to go from the worst team in the league to one of the best.
