St. Louis Cardinals

In 2010 the Cardinals look to repeat as NL Central division champs and advance in the playoffs. Resigning Matt Holliday ensures that this offense is stacked, with reigning MVP Albert Pujols, Ryan Ludwick, Colby Rasmus, Yadier Molina and Brendan Ryan rounding out the regulars. Cy Young finalists Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright anchor the rotation that should be among the best in the NL - with Kyle Lohse, newly signed Brad Penny and youngster Jaime Garcia filling out the 5th spot. 

The bullpen features regulars from last year's club including closer Ryan Franklin who looked shaky in Spring Training but hopes to rebound quickly, Hawksworth, Boggs, McClellan and Motte are the young righties. With Reyes and Miller returning as the LH specialists. 

This team looks poised to easily recapture the Central, but injuries, inconsistent bullpen or any other things could still derail the season.
