5. Miami 62 wins
who didn't they trade? Will stanton be a marlin august 1st? Why would you pitch to him this year? I'd give him the bonds treatment intentional walk him 90% of the time I feel for former lansing Lugnuts manager Mike Redmond he's a good man and he gets this crap team. MLB needs to do to Loria what they did to McCourt get him the hell out of there. take the team from him.Same old Marlins
4. Mets 72 wins
I thought the best move of the offseason was the Mets giving Wright the extension i also thought the dumbest move of the offseason was giving Wright the extension. How old is he going to be by the time they're competing for a title? Plus no DH in the N.L.[though i think the N.L. should have a DH] Santana is making 25.5 million this yr and injuries have hampered is time in Flushing. After his no hitter he was never the same. I noticed a lot of pitchers are that way its like there is a curse of the no hitter
The Madoff lawsuit was settled and the Mets didn't have to give up as much as they thought. I like the pieces they got back for Dickey. terry collins hasn't been given much to work with in Flushing. The Mets appear to be a franchise stuck in neutral
3. Phillies 83 wins
I said in the offseason when a guy picked the phillies to win the East that if it happened i'd walk to Pennsylvania and kiss his a$$ i just don't see it. This team is old and imo are trying to open a window thats shut. If Revere doesn't hit leadoff then why'd you trade for him? I'd hit Revere leadoff and Young 2nd. That infield is old as well
Halladay is a shell of himself. Hamels is a punk i would've traded his a$$. Throwing at harper saying you're old school what a moron. Ruiz is out first 25 games due to i believe amphetamines but either way not having Ruiz will hurt. The keys for this Team are Howard and Utley. Manuel should be shown the door as he look senile. GL with Sandberg if he becomes manager. Phillies window imo is shut
2. Braves 89 wins
For the 1st time in my life i'm concerned about the Braves pitching. Besides Hudson and Medlen you have question marks. And Medlen hasn't started 30-35 games in a season before. Liked the Hanson trade the Braves don't ahve time to wait on guys like him. Not a fan of the BJ Upton move until they brought in Justin Upton. When they got Justin i got a little upton in my pants
i love the move. Dan Uggla could you hit 260 please?
I said Jason heyward would be fine and that he was as he had a 20-20 season. Fredi Gonzalez has the luxury of going right-left all the way down the lineup. They'll get Brandon Beachy back by July tthat'll be like a trade deadline deal. I think this is McCann's LY in Braves Country. I'd like to see Freeman become a 30 HR guy and hit 275-290. Boy as Fredi Gonzalez had bad luck in his 2 years as Braves manager. I see the Braves as a team where i'm more concerned about the pitching which is something i've never said before
1. Nationals 92 wins
Boy we all knew the Strasburg shutdown was coming and i knew the media would react the way they did when the Nats wre eliminated. The bullpen failed the Nats not as much as the starters. plus strasburg looked out of gas in september. I hated the Soriano signing. why did they sign him? It seems like an overreaction signing. Also didn't like the resigning of LaRoche i'm probably the only 1 but i'd rather have Morse. I think LaRoche could have a down year
Liked the Span move didn't like what they gave up to get him though. I'd rather they put Werth in LF and Harper in RF. A lot of noise this winter about Bryce Harper and a sophmore slump i dont see it. Loved when he stole home on Hamels after Hamels plunked himZimmerman after the cortizone shot looked better though he's destined for 1B with Rendon coming along. Its a big year for Espinosa i think people wanting Lombardozzi is a bit silly. Espinosa almost had a 20-20 season. The reason people are pissed is the strikeouts but Davey Johnson isn't pulling him
This is Davey's last year and he imo as cemented himself as a hof manager and i like the Ntas to win the East
Final thoughts
Nats are stacked The braves have the Upton's and company, The rest of the East a mystery i think this divison comes down to who beats the marlins the most
Tomorrow i preview the N.L.Central where i know keyelement is looking forward to where i pick the Pittsburgh Pirates
Another inside joke between key and me. Your thoughts?
