The failure of the Cards to get any production from a 4/5 starter after Penny went down and thier ridiclous offense added to Garcia wearing down late in the season makes them trading a bat instead of adding a bat at the trading deadline even stranger.

I don't know where Bronson Arroyo's season came from, Cueto was always good enough, Leake just wore down but is not even the best rookie on the staff, Poor Harang is toast, Bailey was subpar but adequate, Volquez was typical post TJ surgery up and down but the real key was the emergence of Travis Wood midseason, giving them 15 starts and almost every one of them a good one. The bullpen has looked shaky as of late and will really need Chapman to step up if they have any hope of advancing.

Lori will hate me for saying this but I will be very surprised if Philadelphia doesn't dominate the NL playoffs
