He sure may be right, as there is now speculation that Grienke nixed a deal to the Nationals, and Washington sure has a hell of a lot better chance of making the playoffs in the next two years than the Jays do. Surprising, as the Nationals are going to be damn good in two years with the return of Strausburg and Bryce Harper's emergence.
Milwaukee is a very interesting choice, as once Prince walks next year, there is a huge gaping hole at first base. I know Corey Hart and Casey McGahee had very good year's (Hart has had two above avg. years) last year, but I am somewhat skeptical if they'll put up similar numbers in 2011. If both regress, that lineup is very, very thin outside of Braun/Fielder.
That and the NL Central is a very tough division to begin with, there are some legitimate clubs (Reds/Cardinals). I still believe Milwaukee is the third best team as of today.
