Predictions, Predictions, More Predictions...Sizing up the National League

With the Spring Training and the World Baseball Classic in full swing and the MLB regular season only 30 days away, I figured it was time for some predictions. Heres how I think the divisions will shape up this year...

NL Central
1) Cubs
2) Cardinals
3) Reds
4) Pirates
5) Brewers

NL East
1) Phillies
2) Mets
3) Braves
4) Marlins
5) Nationals

NL West
1) Diamondbacks
2) Dodgers
3) Giants
4) Rockies
5) Padres


Wild Card: Dodgers
Cy Young: Cole Hamels
MVP: Hanley Ramirez (thats right MVP on a 4th place team)
Rookie of the year: Cameron Maybin, OF Marlins

What does anyone else think?

  2. I disagree Nick. I might be slightly biased being a Cubs fan and all, but the Cubs are the best all-around team in the NL Central, simple as that.

  3. ouch putting the brewers behind the pirates? If you check out the roster for the brew crew, they are much better then you think. Granted they lost Sheets and Sabathia, two aces, but they lost no one in the batting order keeping the core of Fielder, Braun, Hart and Hardy. And their pitching staff has the young guns of Yovani Gallardo and Manny Parra as well as the 500 saves man Trevor Hoffman to close it out. Look to see them definitely no lower then the third spot in the central.
