Lining Up Balance Of Power In National League

Cardinals: When healthy, Chris Carpenter gives them one of the game's best five starters. Albert Pujols represents the game's best player. Joel Piñeiro's ascendency and Kyle Lohse's return give them perhaps the league's deepest rotation. Holliday has hit better than .300 since a rough April and replaces one of the game's least productive left field platoons with a No. 4 bat.
