The Rundown: Revamped Bullpen Key to Season, Souza Touts Cubs as World Series Contenders, Ross Has Yet to Manage

“Fame you’ll be famous, as famous as can be, with everyone watching you win on TV, Except when they don’t because sometimes they won’t..” – Dr. Seuss

There is one loaded team in the National League, two that have a legitimate shot of winning the pennant, and three teams that will compete to win the NL Central and hope to surprise in the playoffs the way the Nationals did last season. Here’s how I am ranking the Senior Circuit as of this morning:

  1. Dodgers
  2. Mets
  3. Braves
  4. Cubs
  5. Nationals
  6. Reds
  7. Cardinals
  8. Brewers

Some of you may be surprised that I rank the Cubs ahead of the Reds but, like last year, I expect Cincinnati to be one of the more injury-prone teams in baseball.
