From Roberto Serrano:
What do you think about the Cardinals and their offseason transactions?

Well, I think the Cardinals made some key moves in the offseason, but I think they also had some very key losses - Mike Matheny, their starting catcher over the last few seasons, their starting shortstop Edgar Renteria, and their starting second baseman Tony Womack. It's always been said in the game of baseball that you build up the middle and they lost three-fourths of their middle defense, so I think it remains to be seen as to whether they are going to be able to be better than they were last year.
