LIST: How I See The NL Central Playing Out

• 1	Cubs NL Central Champ, #1 seed in post-season

• 2	Cardinals NL Central runners-up, NL Wild Card

• 3	Brewers Barely miss playoffs. Cardinals get spot instead.

• 4	Pirates They are a resilient bunch, don't be surprised if they finish at or above .500.

• 5	Reds The Reds have offensive talent, but are not utilizing it correctly. The pitching is terrific. Need to trade Griffey for more prospects.

• 6	Astros Worst team in the division. They can't do much excpet hope to pick up more pitching in the off-season
