#2 \| 284 days ago majikmanseven (+)	+4 no team in NL is a "complete team" , many talented teams that have a legit chance to win pennant...but all have weaknesses...to me, Mets and Phils have vets and youth...decent pitching...most balance. Brewers and D-backs will be interesting to watch. 1. New York Mets 2. Philadelphia Phillies 3. Milwaukee Brewers 4. Arizona Diamondbacks 5. Chicago Cubs 6. San Diego Padres 7. Colorado Rockies 8. Los Angeles Dodgers 9. Cincinnati Reds 10. St. Louis Cardinals

#1 \| 284 days ago azcardsfan (+)	+4 I picked Mets but it hinges on Pedro's health if he is even 75% off his old self, this team will be a tough out, Santana will dominate, NL, with its weak hitting bottom lineups, he gets 6 free outs a game 1. New York Mets 2. Philadelphia Phillies 3. Chicago Cubs 4. Los Angeles Dodgers 5. Arizona Diamondbacks 6. Colorado Rockies 7. San Diego Padres 8. St. Louis Cardinals 9. Atlanta Braves 10.

#4 \| 283 days ago JewelOfSong (+)	+2 The Diamondbacks have a great rotation, but their offense is a bit lacking. The fact that they had more wins than losses last year is amazing considering their run differential. They gave up more runs than they scored! 1. New York Mets 2. Los Angeles Dodgers 3. Chicago Cubs 4. Arizona Diamondbacks 5. Philadelphia Phillies 6. San Diego Padres 7. Atlanta Braves 8. Milwaukee Brewers 9. Colorado Rockies 10. St. Louis Cardinals

New York Mets 2. Philadelphia Phillies 3. Chicago Cubs 4. Los Angeles Dodgers 5. Arizona Diamondbacks 6. Colorado Rockies 7. San Diego Padres 8. St. Louis Cardinals 9. Atlanta Braves 10.

Cubs dont have a good bullpen but now that are bullpen is ok with C. Marmol, Wood, Howry, Cotts, Eyre, Ascanio & Wuertz who are pretty good! We should be a ok now for the time being! 1.

#12 \| 281 days ago azcardsfan (+)	+1 man let me tell you when White sox won World series Cotts next to Crede was the most underrated player on that team, he was unhittable that year look up his numbers for that year on mlb .com go to Cubs Webpage. and click on to Cotts career stats, for 05, they were sick, he would come in with men on and no outs, righty or lefty and just inilate them. got to go to work catch ya later 1. New York Mets 2. Philadelphia Phillies 3. Chicago Cubs 4. Los Angeles Dodgers 5. Arizona Diamondbacks 6. Colorado Rockies 7. San Diego Padres 8. St. Louis Cardinals 9. Atlanta Braves 10. Milwaukee Brewers
