May I have a drum roll please. Yes, folks, it is time again for Steve Davis' annual baseball picks. This week we'll look at the National League, next week the American. National League East Chicago Cubs—The Cubbies have just enough to hold off the Mots one more year, if they bench Bowa to start rookie Shawon Dunston at shortstop, and if Dernier can hit the second half of the season and if Durham hits enough to overcome Matthews' dropoff from last season ... New York Mets—I'd pick 'em if they just had a double-play combination. Having a washed up left fielder (Foster) doesn't help either. But wait 'till next year. Philadelphia Phillies—You know, I'm one of the few people in America who still thinks this is a weak division. Frankly, there's only one strong division in baseball, and we'll deal with it next week. The Phils have some very good players (Schmidt, Samuel, Hayes), some very bad players (DeJesus springs to mind) and a lot of question marks (Denny, Wilson). St. Louis—One of four teams in trie N.L. East who could give a strong run at last place in the A.L. East. They can run; but as the old adage goes, you can't steal first base.

Frankly, I could build a better infield with an erector set and four gloves.
