Gut-Check Time

Hellooooo Cards Fans! Still basking in the glow of a World Series win? I sure am! Want to repeat badly? I sure do! I sure as heck don't want to wait 24 years for the next one! (Here comes the BUT.) I'm not gonna lie though, this offseason scares the willies out of me. (Even though I'm not sure what a willies is) My question is more of a gut feeling than a statistical one. It comes in two parts

1.)Do you think we can bolster the starting rotation enough to be competitive?

2.)Do you think we will aquire any "big" names, or take off the scrap pile?

I look at all the rumor mill sites and all the other sports news sites, and the names that have been tossed around here at VEB are being tossed around every other team. I'm afraid nobody will come to St. Louis. They will sign elsewhere. What do you think? What does your gut tell you?
