The NL as a whole doesn't mean shit to me. What I'm more concerned about is that Theo ****ed up with 2 big trades to deplete the system that I don't see how they get what they need to compete with any 3 of the monsters in the AL that will make it to the WS.

Of course you are concerned. Your constant chirping the Cards should tear it all down is just wishful thinking. You see the Cubs have this 4 years of dominance ahead based largely on your position players. Your starters are "under performing" because that is probably who they are now. It happens to aging arms. I don't think any of us is saying, "well if we only had Waino back." Clearly this season has highlighted that we have a much deeper starting pitching bench to work from. We lost Martinez and Wacha. Where would you be without Lester and Hendricks?
Maybe the "Yu Debacle" will pan out for you and he will finally grow a pair and live up to expectations, but right now your dynasty is missing half of the equation.
The Cubs still are the team to beat, but your prospects have largely been tapped out and the future looks a little more narrow than before this season.
