Its great that the Cards can be counted on to field a competitive team year in and year out. I'd hate to go into a season knowing its a 'rebuilding' year.
The Astros are given a 2017 window. It wouldn't surprise me if Luhnow puts a good team on the field a year or two before that.
When the Astro's are contenders what kind of buying power do they bring to bear?
A's and M's have to be worried about 3 large market franchises being in the same division.. All 3 have good player development and cash to spend when needed..
