This post kicks off a month-long series here at Redbird Rants that will break down each of the other 14 National League ball clubs in terms of what they lost, what they gained, what to expect from them in 2016, and the overall outlook of how they may impact the St. Louis Cardinals’ quest for a 12th World Series title.
It is my hope that this helps get us through the long month of February, and that it gives us a good Segway into Spring Training and back into baseball season. Beginning with the National League East, then tackling the West, and finally finishing with NL Central clubs, my goal is to break down each National League team the Cardinals will face in 2016 and to give a brief overview of what 2016 might look like for each club.
