Interesting...

I find it interesting that Baseball America, in its mock draft that looks forward to tomorrow's potential draft picks, has the Reds going after another outfielder. From Texas. (Drew Stubbs.)
Granted, they are noting that the Reds do pick seventh, and that the top pitchers may be off the shelf by the time the Reds pick, but I still think the Reds would go for a pitcher - any pitcher, after drafting an outfielder - from Texas - last year.
Of course that's merely my opinion, and I couldn't draft for this team if my life depended on it.

In other news, the ESPN SportsNation poll of the moment poses this question:

"Will the Cardinals fall out of first place in the NL Central without Albert Pujols?"

So far, 19,710 people have answered the question, and 53% of the respondents say yes.

Here is a map of the state by state results. Note that those in Missouri are most likely to believe that the Cards will make it without Pujols. Looks like 71% of Ohioans, including yours truly, believe otherwise.

Makes sense.

Internationally, 55% of those taking the poll believe the Cardinals will fall from first.

After tonight, anything seems possible. :)
GO REDLEGS!
