Any baseball team should be able to lose two starting pitchers and a star offensive player for 2-3 months and be competitive....on a .500 level IF that team is truly a championship caliber team WITH those injured players healthy.

Losing 3 key players is NOT going to plummet a team to .400 or sub.400 baseball.

Last year the Cardinals lost Rolen, Sanders, Walker, Ishringhausen, Williams and a few other players (many at the same time) and continued leading the division. They lost more than the Cubs have lost this season.

The difference is the Cardinals were a championship caliber team and the Cubs were not and are not. The Cubs are a .500 or so ballclub and without their stars they are falling to .400 and below. The product with all the players healthy simply is substandard.....all for $95 million dollars. I think $50 million would have accomplished the same thing.
