Boston columnist: St. Louis is a deep, well-rounded team

Boston Globe columnist Chad Finn may write from the city of the Cardinals's World Series opponent, but he gives St. Louis its due in today's column:

I suspect that there aren't many Red Sox fans who are underestimating the Cardinals -- those who are still haven't caught up on their homework. St. Louis is a deep, well-rounded team, stacked with so many impressive young arms behind Wainwright. There is no Woody Williams -- the Game 1 starter in '04 -- or Jason Marquis to be found on this staff.
(I'm not comparing Carlos Martinez to Pedro Martinez, because I compare no one to Pedro Martinez ... but man, that delivery and the filthy stuff suggests what Pedro must have looked like as a young Dodger.)
