I was going to make this thread over the weekend, kudos...

NL East - Braves
NL Central - Cardinals
NL West - Dodgers
Wild Cards - Nats and Reds

AL East - Rays
AL Central - Tigers
AL West - Rangers
Wild Cards - Yankees and Angels

NL Playoffs:

Reds beat Nats in WC
Dodgers beat Reds
Braves beat Cards
Dodgers beat Braves in NLCS

AL Playoffs:

Yankees beat Angels in WC
Tigers beat Yankees
Rays beat Rangers
Tigers beat Rays in ALCS

Tigers beat Dodgers in World Series

NL MVP - Jason Heyward. I think he exceeds what he did in 2012 and goes 30/30 this season. And, since the NL always seems to be wide open in the MVP race (and the fact that I think the Braves might run away with the East), he'll steal it from somebody like Joey Votto or Adrian Gonzalez.

AL MVP - Mike Trout. Because unless his legs fall off, this will be a two horse race between him and Miggy for a few more years. But, my dark horse in Evan Longoria.

NL Cy Young - Clayton Kershaw. I really, really want to pick Jose Fernandez here. Maybe even Stephen Strasburg, but Kershaw is in the same boat as Trout/Miggy for me. The mega-deal he got seemed to actually humble him, which is odd, and I think it'll work in his favor... not that he could possibly get any more dominant.

AL Cy Young - David Price. This is tough because I think there will be a solid 5-7 guys in the AL who will be legitimate contenders for this award this year. Felix, Verlander, Sale, Darvish, Buchholz, I could go on. But, I think Price will turn it up again this year in effort to get paaaaaaaaid in the offseason.

NL ROY - Billy Hamilton, Reds. I'm picking him because I want it to happen, not because I think it will. Besides Mike Trout, I think he has the ability to become the most exciting player in the whole league to watch every night.

AL ROY - Xander Bogaerts, Red Sox. I don't want this to happen, but it probably will. I'd love to say Tanaka, with as good as he's looked this spring, but I think he'll cool off when the heat gets turned up. I think Taijuan Walker gets close, too.

Bold Predictions:

- Red Sox finish fourth in the deepest division this year in baseball. I think all five teams have ~84 wins.
- Padres challenge deep into the season for the West/Wild Card, but the youth shows at the end.
- White Sox will be in front of the Central standings come the All-Star Break.
- The Phillies lose +100.
- Giancarlo Stanton actually stays healthy, hits nearly 60 homers... gets dealt to the Mariners at the deadline.

NL East - Nationals
NL Central - Cardinals
NL West - Dodgers
Wild Cards - Braves and Diamondbacks

AL East - Red Sox
AL Central - Royals
AL West - Rangers
Wild Cards - Rays and Athletics

NL Playoffs:

Braves beat Dbacks in WC
Nationals Beat Dodgers
Cardinals Beat Braves
Nationals beat Cardinals in NLCS

AL Playoffs:

Athletics beat Rays in WC
Red Sox beat Royals
Rangers beat Athletics
Rangers beat Red Sox in ALCS

Rangers beat Nationals in World Series

NL MVP - Paul Goldschmidt- really special player that often gets over looked. I think the Dbacks will be much improved this year and Goldy takes the award. Harper would be my runner up. Sleeper-Freddie Freeman

AL MVP - Prince Fielder- I think Fielder could approach 50+ homeruns this year. Trout is going to go on a run of MVP at some point but I think it may have to wait a year. Sleeper-Dustin Pedroia

NL Cy Young - Clayton Kershaw, I don't see how anybody out pitches him to take this from him. Runner up I'll go with Strasburg. Sleeper- Cole Hamels

AL Cy Young - King Felix, this is really a wide open race, but I'll take the guy in the very friendly pitching field Runner up Yu Darvish. Sleeper- James Shields

NL ROY - Kolten Wong, I think Wong is in a great spot to show what he can do with the Cards. Runner up I like Hamilton but I am concerned on his ability to get on base. Sleeper-Javier Baez- if he gets called up early watch out.

AL ROY - Xander Bogaerts perhaps this is my red sox shaded glasses, but IMO this is one of the future superstars of this league. Runner Up-Tanaka could very well take this award as well. Sleeper- George Springer

I just hate the fact that the Yankees' infield is so awful and the Sawx (arguably) have the best one in baseball.

If there's one reason why the Yanks will just suck uncontrollably this year, it'll be that infield.
