On the down side of that deal is the fact that precedence is set for Pujols next year when his current contract is up.
Once they pay his new salary, which is sure to top Holliday by far, they will have 0 cash for any pitching which is exactly why they always fade in the playoffs.

It was really only 1 pitcher that hurt in the playoffs last year. All the bats went dead at once. I'm looking for a healthy year for Ludwick and for Colby to come on strong. I wish they would set Brendan Ryan and Rasmus loose on the base paths a little more. Hopefully Freese can get his act together too. I am also very curious to see how Craig's bat plays and if Jamie Garcie can hold it together at the big league level.
