Aside from the tarp that clobbered Vince Coleman, the Cardinals have had relativly good luck. I bet they win w/o him. They have a competant manager who does his homework and will find a way to apadt. Yes, you won't replace a Pujols/Derrek Lee type player, but you find a way to adapt w/o them. Go to being more of a scrap team, like the 2003 Marlins, where they didn't have any "major" power, and the power they did have stepped up when Lowell went down.
