Well, were about 100 days away from opening day so I'd like to see who you guys think will win it all before the season starts.

Depending on the rotation situation, I've got my Yankees taking it to the next level and winning it all.

Rest of 'em:

NL East: Braves
NL Central: Cubs
NL West: Diamondbacks
Wild Card: Dodgers

AL East: Sawx
AL Central: Tigers
AL West: Mariners
AL Wild Card: Yankees

Playoffs:

Cubs beat Dodgers
Braves beat D'backs
Braves beat Cubs

Sawx beat Mariners
Yanks beat Tigers
Yanks beat Sawx

Yanks beat Braves in 6

Awards:

NL MVP: Albert Pujols
AL MVP: Miguel Cabrera

NL CY: Tim Hudson
AL CY: Justin Verlander

This will all probably change if a certain trade goes down between now and April.

I have a hunch about the Bravos, I'm not quite sure what it is yet, but I think they're going to surprise some people this coming season.

Amen. If we can stay healthy we can be the NL team that gets destroyed by the AL representative. I'm picking that to be the Tigers. Just because everyone is picking the Sox and I love Renteria.

NL Div. Winners:

D-Backs/Cubs/Braves

NL WC: Mets

AL Div. Winners:

Angels/Tigers/Red Sox

AL WC Winner: Indians

WS: Tigers over D-Backs

I guess. Who cares, MLB can screw itself.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

Looking through some of these teams I noticed that the NL sucks horribly.

ALCS= Boston vs Detroit
NLCS= Chicago vs Arizona
