That's what the rest of the National League Central is saying.
While the team is currently tied for third place, they have spent numerous weeks this season holding the top spot. And that's no small feat. With none of it's teams under .500, the National League Central is the strongest division in baseball.
Pittsburgh has gotten good two ways. First, they built the lineup through frugal, yet extremely selective and effective trips to the free agent list. Then they built the bullpen from the ground up, while importing Uggie Urbina to tag team with Mike Williams to form one of the most imposing late inning obsticles in the game.
If the team could just add a frontline pitcher to the rotation, well I'd really love to see what they could accomplish.
