Under. 20 wins is tough. I think Webb can do it, but I'm not sure he will.

Over/under 120 RBI for Mark Teixiera

Over, the dude's my favorite player. I say 130 RBI along with 35-40 home-runs.

Over/Under: 14 wins for Cliff Lee

Under - I think he comes back down to earth and goes for about 10 wins

Over/Under: 10 Complete Games for Doc

i disagree...i think we might see a shift away from the lone closer...

i wish the cubs has a three-headed Wood/Marmol/Gregg thing...even if they are all righties...

Under, I'll say he gets 8 this season. He's never got more than 9 CGs in a season so even for a horse like him, I don't expect him to really stretch that much this season.

O/U: The best team in the majors this season will have a record of 110 wins.

Under, 102 wins for the best team in the majors.

O/U: The worst team in the majors will barely crack 40 wins. (ahem, Padres).

Wood is now in Cleveland, Marmol has been told he is the setup man, Gregg is now the Cubs lone closer.

An interesting thing that gets forgotten about the "Nasty Boys" is that in 1990 Norm Charlton started 16 games. In 1991 Charlton and Randy Myers had 23 starts between them so at any given time one, if not both, were not available out of the pen. When they were all in the pen they were a great trio and no team has ever really successfully been able to duplicate what the Reds had. The closest being the 1993/94 Montreal Expos with John Wettleland and Mel Rojas.
With as many blown saves as the Cardinals had last year you would think they would want some stability at the back end of the bullpen.

Now back to our regularly scheduled topic:
Over as bad as the Padres are they will win at least 50 games

Over/Under 50 HR's for Prince Fielder

Under. 50 Hr's for Fielder is pushing it. Probably 40-45.

O/U: 30 HRs-30 SB for Grady Sizemore.
