the only thing concerning about this lineup is that larussa finally figured out eckstein sucks and put ryan at leadoff.......andruw jones sucks, and chipper would be nice, woodward in his absence sucks but the cardinals putting ludwick in is actually more scary for braves backers than chippers absence
Also no human k machine- edmonds out, usually auto-k twice a game...encarnacion will have to resume that role
