I'll hold off until after the World Baseball Classic.

Galt · 02-20-2006, 06:52 AM

Why don't you hold off until SI puts out their preview issue.

Better yet, why not wait until the All Star Break.

your guttsiest (sp? even word??) prediction is saying the devil rays wont be in last

The Jays · 02-20-2006, 07:02 AM

fine, here's my prediction.

Yankees win 120 games, the AL East, and the pennant, and move on to win the World Series 4-0 against the Pittsburg Pirates.

No other teams matter.

HollywoodJewMoses · 02-20-2006, 07:39 AM

galt, what have the twins done this offseason to become better and warrant a prediction of a WC team.

Tony brokeback Batista

Galt · 02-20-2006, 04:58 PM

They replaced Joe Mays and his 5.6 ERA with Francisco Liriano, who is a monster.
They actually got a 2B in Luis Castillo

Liriano, Santana, Radke, and Silva will be (in regards to ERA) probably the best foursome in the AL (Harden, Zito, Haren & Blanton will be close)

Luis Castilla, though he doesn't run anymore is still a solid leadoff hitter. HE is known (rightfully) as a little slap hitter. But Minnesota's offense was so bad last year, that his .760 OPS would have been forth best on the team

Additionally,
Morneau had a putrid season last year, and everyone thinks he's much better,
Rondell White is underrated, and especially now that he's DH, should be able to avoide the injury bug.
Torii Hunter was hurt for almost half the year.
I think Joe Mauer is ready for a breakout season.

HollywoodJewMoses · 02-20-2006, 05:02 PM

i think the only way their offense really improves is if mauer has the breakout everyone has been expecting for two years.

Galt · 02-20-2006, 05:11 PM

Well adding white cancels out Jaque Jones and Castillo is a billion times better than that chump Punto they had their last year. And if we assume Morneau gets back to the production he had two years ago, it's a pretty good upgrade.

And Mauer was awesome two years ago before he got hurt.

GonzoStyle · 02-20-2006, 09:30 PM

the mets, since when?

Keyser Soze · 02-20-2006, 10:23 PM

whats it to you, fucko?

GonzoStyle · 02-20-2006, 10:30 PM

it's almost as silly as when people make stupid picks like Britney Spears in the death pool.

Goatweed · 02-20-2006, 10:31 PM

this year is now - or was that last year?

Keyser Soze · 02-20-2006, 10:53 PM

is donny baseball still on the bench?

Goatweed · 02-20-2006, 10:54 PM

of course he is, I wish he was playing 1st tho.

Keyser Soze · 02-20-2006, 10:58 PM

the curse continues!

Goatweed · 02-20-2006, 10:59 PM
