Best Offense: Milwaukee

Best Pitching Staff: CUBS

Worst Pitching Staff: Pittsburgh

Best Defense: Cincinnati

Worst Defense: St. Louis

Poor Colby Rasmus. He'll have a lot of ground to cover in center field with Matt Holliday and Lance Berkman manning the corners. Ryan Theriot will man shortstop for the Cardinals after spending most of 2010 at second base.

Best Infield: Milwaukee (Prince Fielder, Weeks, McGehee, Yuniesky Betancourt)

Strong bats make up for erratic defense.

Best Outfield: Houston (Carlos Lee, Michael Bourn, Hunter Pence)

I can't stand the guy, but LaRussa consistently gets more out of less than any other manager in baseball.
