Carpenter was coming back healthy. Franklyn showed last season in the 2nd half that he was a capable closer. They have a lot of offence. I personally didn't see Milwaukee being anything like they were last year. There's no reason they shouldn't have been, but I just didn't see them doing anything significant this year. The Cubs were a dissapointment, but I saw them and the Cards coming out of the division with one being the winner and the other the wild card.
Whatever though.
I saw the D'Backs as the West winners/contenders too.
