On a happy note, the Cards team spring ERA is 4th best in MLB.
Dusty Blake baby!!
BUT
Starter ERA is only 18th,
While the bullpen has been strong, ranking #5.
Gray and Pallante.
Gray is the only MLB pitcher with 300+ IP and a FIP under 3.00 over the past 2 seasons. Hopefully he regains form in the regular season.
Yep
I know his velo is down but he's a "pitcher", not a "thrower" and I think he'll use his guile and experience to put together another solid season (as long as he stays healthy).
But I really love our pen', that backend could be as good as any outside of the Dodgers.

Perhaps our 2 best starters will be in Memphis (McGreevy and Mathews).
If you can't win the World Series, then why not go for the AAA championship instead?
