West: Dbacks, duh! Central: Angels East: This looks to be the closest division battle. The Rox have a loaded lineup but the Giants pitching could be a tad better, overall. I'll take the Champs. Wildcard: This will likely be from the East division. However, I really like what the Mets added in the off-season. They made some nice trades to bring in MLB regulars. I think with a little luck, they could win the whole thing. Champs: I did my best to add pitching but I'm probably still a bit short. My heart says Dbacks but my gut says the Rox will win their second league title. Bonus prediction: Strasburg finally puts it all together and wins a CY. (If only because this is the first season I have no shares.)

East: Rockies. The Giants look solid too, but I think the Rox ultimately pull away with a stronger lineup of hitters.
Central: Pirates. This one could be close, I'm torn on Pirates vs. Angels.
West: Mets. D'Backs look good too.
Wild Card: D'Backs. Angels and Giants will be in the mix though.
Champion: Mets. Man, I don't know. Rox and Pirates look strong too. I really like Houston's IF (Abreu, Altuve, Correa), and I really like the OF trio of Heyward, Springer, and Eaton this year. He has power, speed, some depth...my only concern would be SP.
Bonus: I think it ends up a little tighter at the top this year, with a few more teams in contention.

East: Rockies, Giants, Twins, Sock Dodgers, Brewers. I spent all of last season looking at the Giants' roster, trying to work out where all that production was coming from and wondering when the magic would run out. I don't think it can last another season... can it?
Central: Pirates, Angels, Orioles, Indians, Padres. At the moment I have the Pirates over the Angels by a nose.
West: Mets, D'backs, Rangers, Marlins, Blue Jays. Wow, the Mets have had an offseason - with a bit of luck I think that staff could break the pitching score record. I think D'backs will push them all the way.
Wildcard: D'backs, with Angels and Giants not too far off.
Champs: Right now I'd say a trio pull away from the pack in August, with a three horse race to the wire ending Mets then Rockies then D'backs. But everything's to play for!
Bonus prediction: Six teams are buyers at the deadline (up from two last year). I wouldn't be surprised to see Rangers or Marlins join the party either to make 7 or 8.

East: probably a straight fight between me and Rockies again... hopefully my roster can continue to defy Stephen's expectations! Central: Pirates look pretty good West: mets definitely look strongest in that division to me WC: i'll say me again, probably not in 2nd place overall this time though Champs - Mets look like the best team on paper at the moment Bonus prediction: everyone hits the AB and IP limits this year!

My team will NOT finish last. That is my only prediction. This league is thick with teams in contention.
