St. Louis Cardinals

Last season, the Cardinals claimed the NL Central flag with only 83 wins. Sure, they went on to win the World Series, but the '06 Cardinals remain, in any objective sense, a fairly middling outfit. In fact, since divisional play was instituted prior to the 1969 season, only the 2005 Padres an...
