Braden Pooper blows my ballsack, he's a #4 at best. Best offense in the majors? Eh, look back at the NL last year and it's the Cubs in almost every major statistical category. That was also without Soriano for awhile, Lee having a down year, Aramis having a down year, etc. <br/><br/>You're referring to Soriano like he's injury prone. He got drilled on the wrist last year... anybody's getting hurt there. He had the hamstring injury on his stupid hop the year before, but that's the only legitimate injury he's had in his whole career really. It's never been a problem with him.<br/><br/>Bradley's sure to spend a month on the DL, but you also know he led the AL in OPS last year right? <br/><br/>They'll win this division and it won't be close, even if they're not as good as last year's team.

Bradley’s sure to spend a month on the DL, but you also know he led the AL in OPS last year right?

They’ll win this division and it won’t be close, even if they’re not as good as last year’s team.

No CC, no Sheets, and you're depending on a young pitcher coming off a torn ACL in Yovani Gallardo to be the ace and carry the load. Houston just 67 wins? Really? The Cubs are going to win this crappy division by a lot, I'd predict it goes this way:<br/><br/>1. Cubs <br/>2. Cardinals<br/>3. Astros<br/>4. Brewers<br/>5. Reds<br/>6. Buccos<br/><br/>But yeah, completely agree about what does it matter? I still have zero faith in them to win a playoff game and that's all that really matters. The real season for me doesn't start until October. This is going to be the longest season ever. It makes me mad just talking about it. I don’t see the Brewers winning 83 games.
