With the offseason trade of power-hitting third baseman Fernando Tatis to Montreal, however, the brunt of the Cardinals' offense falls even heavier to McGwire. At third, the trio of Polanco, Paquette and Andrews won't be able to match the Tatis' offensive production. And if McGwire goes down again, the Cardinals will be forced to replace nearly 50 percent of their power supply.
3B Albert Pujols -- By dealing Tatis, the Cardinals showed a trememdous amount of faith in the future promise of Pujols. The 21-year-old hit .324 with 17 homers in Class A, although he struggled in a short stint in Memphis. While not ready in 2001, Pujols is the heir apparent for the third-base job while the Cardinals keep the seat warm for one year.
