Noah Mark Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Some hard choices this year. The LA Angels look really good on the AL Side as well as Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox and on the NL side you've got Washington Nationals, LA Dodgers looking. What is everybody predicting for a World Series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianS81177 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 AL East: Red Sox AL Central: Tigers AL West: Mariners Wild Cards: White Sox, Yankees NL East: Nationals NL Central: Pirates NL West: Dodgers Wild Cards: Cardinals, Giants I'm not sold on all the big names the Padres have brought in working out; and I feel like at some point Pujols and Hamilton will start declining, and the Angels will suffer for it.

Niners Fan in CT Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm not sure the Red Sox look good. They spent a fortune on Ramirez and Panda but failed to really address the pitching staff. Lester is gone. Clay can't be relied on. I'll think more about who I have coming out of each division but right now my World Series is Yankees vs. Nationals.

The Man Known as Dan Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 AL East: Blue Jays AL Central: Tigers AL West: Mariners AL Wild Card: White Sox, Angels It's odd that the best team on paper to me is the Jays by a pretty good amount. I think Martin will get the best out of that pitching staff, and the lineup will hit tons. I don't like... Any of the other teams a ton, really. NL East: Nationals NL Central: Cards NL: West: Dodgers NL Wild Card: Cubs, Pirates Yeah, I know, I'm picking the Cubs, homer blah blah. But it's a depth issue in the NL. I don't buy that the Padres actually improved: there problem was a terrible infield which is still terrible, and they made there defense worse when if I were them, my goal would be to do the opposite because of that ballpark. I think the Pirates could be worse this year as well, as Martin was an incredibly valuable piece to there puzzle that's gone. And the Giants... it's not an even year. Yes, I'm banking they fall off just because of that. That leaves the Marlins and Brewers as teams I don't trust but could get in the race. World Series, I'll say Mariners vs. Nations because I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I've learned never to make predictions in February, because they end terribly for me. I will say this, though. To me, I only see three great teams and five that won't be contenders. The other 22 are somewhere in the middle. Gonna be an awesome year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 You could put together an all time greatest team from the last 10 years and some bullshit would still happen with that Blue Jays team, causing them to finish no better than 3rd.

World Series, I'll say Mariners vs. Nations because I don't know. It's funny how easily I've gotten into the frame of mind of basically writing off 2015 already as just one big year-long extended spring training for 2016. The A's, meanwhile... that's not going to be pretty. Pre-emptive blow up to begin a new rebuild after the Lester gambit failed. Well at least the stadium is n.....oh, fuck.

BrianS81177 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 So I'm not a huge baseball person but a question to those how are...compared to this time last year are the Royals better or worse? I don't follow them too closely but losing James Shields has to be a big blow to the rotation. Aside from that I'd think they will probably be solid in the bullpen, good D. Kendrys Morales as the new DH will be.... interesting. Wait no that's not the word. Disastrous. Yes, that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royals also let Nori Aoki walk, replacing him with Alex Rios, which should also be diastrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianS81177 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Adding Alex Rios and Kendrys Morales. Yup, that'll fix the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Losing Shields is going to put a lot more strain on that excellent bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoffman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 All I'll pick is this: Central Division champion Cardinals versus wild-card Cubs in the NLCS. The Cubs lead going into the bottom of the ninth of Game 7. And then, reality strikes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
