that was quite surprising, too, how the braves ran away w/ the east. everyone was thinking phillies or marlins this year (myself included), but alas, ATL came back for #13... i'd say both teams (Cards & Braves) got a good deal over the winter.... we got Ray King & Jason Marquis (& Adam Wainwright); Braves got J.D. Drew & Eli Marrero. Marquis ended up being our 2nd best starter behind Chris Carpenter. King gave us 2 lefties in the 'pen (along w/ Steve Kline). Plus, we got rid of J.D. Drew. He was injured so damn often, I and many other people I know began to wonder if he just didn't like playing in St. Louis. And not big injuries; he'd sit out games w/ little freak shit. Thank God he's gone, fucking pansy. But, hey, he's actually good when he plays a full season (or the vast majority of it). And from what I can remember, Eli was doing a pretty decent job as well, filling in spot roles.
