Shoe in is strong. But they have as good a shot as anyone.
Who do you think they add? David Price...and?
I don't even want to tell you what they were talking about here in LA on the radio and from someone else who I can't go into. Price is a given for Haren. The next three are where it gets interesting. Kazmir, Zimmerman and........... Greinke.
They can afford a lot of things because of their cheap, young stars. It will be interesting.
And I'll stick with shoe in. The Braves should have won 5 in the 90's and won 1. The Cubs are set up much better at the plate than the Braves were. They just have to buy arms. I'm not sure how old you are Jayhawk but if you look at the 70's Dodgers that LaSorda brought from Albuquerque to LA and it's very similar.
I'll be quietly in your corner as long as Schwarber is there. If not for Rodon, he would ahve been a southsider.
