Opening day is just two days away. This year's iteration of the Cardinals may end up being one of the more fascinating teams to follow in recent memory. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see this team win 100 games again or finish with a record below .500. There are just so many questions marks right now:

  • Will Waino, Wacha, Martinez and Garcia stay healthy?
  • Who the hell is going to be our shortstop until Peralta returns?
  • Who's on first?
  • Will Piscotty, Grichuk and Pham continue their positive development?
  • How much to Holliday and Molina have left in the tank?
  • Will the infield be able to play adequate defense?
The only thing I am not worried about really at this point is the bullpen. The starting rotation should be top 5 if health is there. The offense and defense are really HUGE questions marks at this point. Although our bench is dramatically improved.

If I had to put money down today, I would predict 91 wins and heading out on the road for the Wild Card game.

How does everyone else view the team's prospects this year?
