After winning the NL Central for the fourth time in six years, the Cardinals didn't just stand pat in the offseason. They shelled out $100 million to keep Matt Holliday in the lineup behind Albert Pujols and said goodbye to Rick Ankiel. With dual aces Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, and the best hitter on the planet, the team is poised to continue its playoff run.
That's not to say there aren't questions surrounding the team. What will Albert Pujols's next contract look like given Holliday's deal? Can Colby Rasmus pull together a complete season in the field and at the plate? Can Chris Carpenter stay healthy and continue to dominate?
The Maple Street Press Cardinals Annual 2010 answers these questions and many more. Edited by Larry Borowsky of Viva El Birdos, the Annual includes analysis and opinion from some of the most respected Cardinals writers and fans from the web and print, including New York Magazine's Will Leitch, FoxSports.com's Dayn Perry, Aaron Schafer of the Riverfront Times, and many more. From this year's team, to the minor league system, and a look back at the rich history of the Cardinals, get ready for the season with:
- Pitch-by-pitch scouting reports, with information provided by Inside Edge, detail what to expect from Cardinals hitters and pitchers.
- Take a look at the high-profile decision to bring Mark McGwire in as hitting coach, how he learned to hit, and what he might teach the club.
- Using Pitch-f/x and other advanced metrics, break down the tough question of just who was better in 2009 Wainwright or Carpenter.
- Is there a limit to the contract Albert Pujols could receive? Get all sides of the issue.
- Rick Ankiel has been with the Cards since 1997, look back at his unique contributions to the team.
- The Cardinals dealt away a significant chunk of prospects in 2009, see what's left including the top names left, what the club is doing in Latin America, and in-depth looks at #1 pick Shelby Miller and the system's Player (Allen Craig) and Pitcher (Lance Lynn) of the Year.
- Look back at the best Cardinals postseason starts. Where does Wainwright rank? How many does Gibson have?
That just scratches the surface of the articles, opinions, and analysis in the Maple Street Press Cardinals Annual 2010. Check out the table of contents below for a full idea of what the Annual has in store. No ads, full color, all Cardinals.
