The previews of the rebuilding teams are over (because I only do the NL Central Division. And because who gives a crap about the Phillies). The St. Louis Cardinals are not your daddy’s “third place” team. Not too many teams coming off of a 100 win season can reasonably be projected to finish third in the next season and have it be reasonable. In the Cardinals’ case, they only finished 3 games ahead of the third place team in the division, in spite of those 100 wins. And they lost some pretty big pieces after that 100 win season.
