Prospectus Hit List: Beating The Holiday Traffic

8. Cardinals (Falling)

With six losses in seven games, the Cardinals fumble first place and end the month just 12-17. They lose Khalil Greene to the disabled list again amid a 1-for-17 slide and the return of his anxiety order, but snag Mark DeRosa for reliever Chris Perez. It's a shrewd move given DeRosa's positional flexibility, as he can slide over to second base if Troy Glaus returns at some point, providing a bit of extra support for the Cards' low-strikeout/high-contact pitching staff. Alas, a wrist strain will limit DeRosa's immediate impact.
