I saw some of the Cardinals fans on GRB talking about how they looked like a third-place team, but I'm not sure that's right. This Pirates team doesn't look too intimidating to me. Maybe I'm wrong. And I know they are a good bet to over-perform, thanks to Searage and the pitching-inside philosophy. They're a tough team to read. The outfield is, obviously, fantastic. But, the line-up, as a whole, has never really scared me. Liriano looks like horsefeathers right now. And I just don't believe Searage is enough of a wizard to make something out of Niese and Nicasio. I think the Cards might be considerably better. I might eat my words later on, though.
