Beyond The Boxscore Power Rankings: Through Tuesday, June 9th 2009

St. Louis Cardinals

Remember the Rockies' win streak mentioned above? Four of them (and two of the blow-outs) came at the expense of the Cardinals. This past week, we've seen drops in both their offense (Pujols' wOBA this past week is 0.276) and especially in their pitching, and those games are a big part of the reason why. The Cardinals always seem to be in the hunt, despite bleeding away talent every offseason. Their piching has some depth, but the offense begins and ends with Pujols this year. Pujols is a superstar among superstars, but is he good enough to carry an offense single-handedly?
