Re: Give predictions of divisions..
Almost a month ago I started a thread like this:
Anyways:
AL East:
Boston
New York
Baltimore
Toronto
Tampa Bay
Really hard to predict this division, Boston, New York, and Baltimore had great offseasons. I don't think Toronto changed that much from last season so I think they'll be competitive as well until the last few weeks. As for the D-Rays, they should do a lot better than last year, except they don't have enough to beat out the O's, Yanks, and Red Sox.
AL Central:
Chicago
Minnesota
Cleveland
Kansas City
Detroit
Pretty much a duplicate of last season, except I think the Twins won't win the division. Only thing I know is that Detroit can't do any worse than last year.
AL West:
Anaheim
Oakland
Seattle
Texas
Anaheim has had a good offseason and the division should have a three-way race. Both Seattle and Oakland are still strong teams. Texas on the other hand...
NL East
Philadelphia
Atlanta
Marlins
Expos
New York
Atlanta lost some key players and with Philadelphia getting stronger, we might see Atlanta's run of consecutive division titles come to an end. Marlins will still not be counted out. It'll be interesting to see how the Expos do without Vlad.
NL Central
Chicago
Houston
St. Louis
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
Milwaukee
Probably the toughest division that will probably come down to the wire. Chicago and Houston most likely will finish on top, one winning the division and the other winning the wild card. St. Louis should be competitive enough, but has a lesser chance of being 1st or 2nd than the other teams.
NL West
San Francisco
San Diego
Arizona
Los Angeles
Colorado
The only team that's made some steps forward int his division are the Padres. The Giants were the team that took the least steps back in the division, although they're not as strong as the 2003 team, they're still the team to beat. Arizona lost some players in that trade and Schilling, which will probably weaken their pitching staff. Los Angeles, their pitching will hold them up but their offense might still be a problem, which they didn't upgrade with the likes of signing Encarnacion and Trammell. The Rockies... eh, they're the Rockies.
