With all the major trades/pickups that have happened this offseason(pujols,fielder,epstien ect,) the NL central is a completely different animal then it was last season. whos your pick to be on top in the central in 2012? i think STL will still win it even w/o Pujols. Wainwright will be back as well.

I think the brewers fate lies largely on the Braun Suspension. If no Suspension then i could see it being a good race between the Cardinals / Reds / Brewers. Your realy never know tho.

Hoping the Cards make a good showing.

With Pujols and Fielder out of the division now, I think the Reds have the advantage in the NL central.

I have to say the Reds. They sured up their staff with Latos and back end of the pen with Madson...and they can definitely hit. Should be fun, seems like the NL Central always is.

Well the Brewers lost Fielder and Braun for a good chunk of the season, and Pujols is gone but Wainwright is back...I think it will be similar to 2010, with it being neck-and-neck between the Reds and Cards most of the season. Reds dumped that overpaid CoCo and got a cheaper, reliable closer in Madson...I'm not sure about Latos however, seems like they could have gotten much more for Alonso, Vólquez, and Grandal

Pirates

St.Louis Cardinals.

I'm a Cubs fan but I have to say the Reds will be on top. If the Bucs improve over last year they could contend but I think they need a little more help.

Pittsburgh will be the best team till they trade away their best players and then the reds will take the division. The cardinals are going to be crying over the pujols trade all year, the brewers have some of the tools but lost their best player so they're going to get worse, especially with braun out for 50 games. and no one cares about the astros. The cubs will show a little ray of hope and then collapse as usual.

Lol?

First of all, it wasnt a trade with Pujols, he signed as a free agent.

Second of all, no one is crying.

Third of all, our offense is still going to be dangerous, especially when we get Craig back.


Cards take the Division.

Book it.
