There’s been much discussion at Viva El Birdos recently about Dan Szymborski’s ZiPS projections for the 2007 Cardinals. While the VEB community and Dan are much smarter than I, it’s still fun to play the prognosticating game. The following predictions come from my gut and are not based on any sort of actual knowledge of baseball. Feel free to call me an idiot. Enjoy!
