I think Harang is on the downswing, Arroyo is done, Volquez is good, but not as good as he was last year, I think Cueto will struggle in that ball park, and Owens is average at best. I don't like their bullpen. I think their offense will really struggle, Votto and Bruce are solid, but Phillips as the cleanup hitter? The Reds have a losing mentality and Dusty Baker is terrible. Taveras is a bad leadoff hitter. Their lineup doesn't compare to the Cubs, Brewers and Cardinals, or even the Astros for that matter.
As for the Cardinals, they have a winning mentality, they're always better than they should be. Carp has looked great so far this spring, Pujols is actually healthy, like Motte as the closer, and Greene gives them more pop at ss. I think they'll be better than .500 in that division, especially since I think the Astros and Pirates will be be bad, along with the Reds, and the Brewers won't win 90 again.
