This team is several games under its Pythagorean W-L. If you want to talk about a team playing over its head look at Pittsburgh.

Even if they did miraculously make the playoffs they aren't doing shit, especially if its just the wild card.

They have a 99.5% chance of making the playoffs. They have an 8.5 game lead. They would have to lose 75% of their games to miss out on the playoffs.

Idea for next year (provided you don't trade Wong)
1) MCarp gets about 40 starts at 3rd, 40 in right, 40 at second, 20 in left (140 total) 2) Craig gets 100 starts in right 10 in left, and 30 at first (140 total) 3) Adams gets 130 starts at first, and 10ish as DH (140 total) 4) Taveras is your everyday CF (140-50 total) 5) Holliday gets 140 starts in left 6) Wong gets 120 starts at second 7) Freese gets 120 starts at third 8) Molina gets 135 starts at catcher, with an occasional 1B start sprinkled in. Jay and Descalso play your utlity roles in the IF and OF respectively Isn't that your best option for winning while also putting forward the most balanced lineup that can absorb an injury? Make Beltran a qualifying offer and take the pick at the end of the first.

I think carpenter could play any position but SS/1B/C. But, he needs to go to 3B and Wong to 2B. Taveras definitely needs to be our everyday CF. I like Martinez as a reliever or trade bait for a SS. But who is worth a trade of our top guys? Move Rosenthal to the starting lineup. But I think they let Mujica walk and he becomes the closer. I like this pool for starting pitching. It's young, but WTH. Someone falls off a cliff, we got guys to call off the bench. Waino Miller Wacha Rosenthal Lynn Kelly/Garcia/Lyons/Gast/

Kemp plays center, Puig plays right, and the Dodgers have unlimited money. That would never, ever happen. Furthermore, you want to pay Matt Kemp $20 million per year until he's 35, because that's what the dumbass Dodgers are doing.

Wong+Carpenter+RH Bench bat > Wong, Freese, Carpenter That's poor value. My idea allows the Cardinals to rest Holliday, Craig, and Freese, none of whom are pictures of health, while never sabotaging the lineup with a Shane Robinson or Ty Wigginton to do so. Furthermore, you aren't Profaring Wong in this example. I'm 100% down with trading Wong. I get it. But it's nice to have seven above average-great ML hitters for six spots than six, especially when you can parcel out ABs like that.
