i think they could be considered a dark horse candidate.

I think the Cards/A's team is going to be awfully tough to beat in your division (and in the league). But you've got a solid collection of hitters and SPs. Dark horse candidate sounds right to me.

shooting for the wildcard. you are right that PHA/STL team is looking tough, but they do not have the best defense so they are weak somewhere. however with those bats they will score a lot of runs.

tonight they got off to a perfect 3-0 record. swept what i consider one of the toughest teams in the league. now i just hope they can win more than they lose for the rest of the season.

Steve - can't disagree more with mikemartinfl about Bresnahan - you were right for sticking with him. The 7+m Bresnahan card is a favorite of mine. He is far from overpriced. In any pitcher's/neutral park, he is good for .320+/.400+/.450+. He has excellent OB chances both ways, very good TB's both ways and is excellent defensively. I can live with the high T and PB numbers every time...

By the way, why would you ever not lead off Bresnahan both ways considering he has 11 more OB chances than Van haltren vs. RH pitching and substantially better SB numbers? Not to mention Bres has more GB(a)'s then Van Haltren as well.

Was basing the overpriced opinion based on his injury risk. I try to stay away from 7 mil players that can go down for 15 with injury roles on 3/11 or worse. If you get lucky and he stays healthy, should definitely hit and play D for you.

Good luck.
