The Gas House Gang

SI.com’s John Donovan recently published his NL Central preview over at Yahoo.  Great stuff, and of course he talks about the Cardinals being the favorite.

If the reports of Scott Rolen being ready are true, we could see the Cards go wire to wire.  While the Cubs have the talent, they don’t have the horses and it showed last year.  The Astros are trying to force Jeff Bagwell, one of the best players in the franchises history, into retirement so the team can collect insurance money on his contract and there’s still be no word from Roger Clemens.  I still don’t think the Brewers are quite there yet and the Reds and Pirates are just there.
