Look at that lineup sans Pierre and what do you see for the year? Above average production out of C, 1B, 2B, SS, RF, CF and average production out of LF with 3B being a crapshoot because LaRoche can't stay healthy. Yes, its the NL, but still that is actually due to be a very good lineup. There's a reason why I picked them for the W.S. from the NL, it's not just having a top 3 of Bills, Lowe and Penny and having a killer 1-2 in the BP (Saito and Broxton) but that they also have the hitting and defense to be a very good (92+ win) team. Remember that Joe Torre teams have a penchant for starting slow.

If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten
