TraceOneInfinite:
My prediction for my team the Royals 09....

Predicted Record:  75-87
Finish:  4th place Division

Coach:  Trey Hillman microanalyses everything.  I've always felt in baseball when it comes to managing that less is more.  He changes the lineup too much and interferes with the delicate mechanics of pitchers and hitters when I think he shouldn't.

Offense:  The Royals will have much improved hitting this year.  Additions like Jacobs will boost their power numbers.  Coco Crisp will be a solid addition bringing speed and hitting for a solid average.  I expect 3rd year guys Butler and Gordan to emerge some this year.  Teahan's had a hot spring, and it's possible he could have a breakthrough season this year at second base.  Mike Avilles may emerge into the best hitting shortstop in the league this year.

Defense:  The Royals have a solid ballpen, with All-World closer Joakim Soria will have another great year, while the rest of the pen will be solid.  But I think the Royals will ultimately fail this year because their starting pitching will let them down.  Our 2 horses, Grienke and Mesh will let us down.  Grienke will get smashed on and lose his head, and Mesh will be nagged by injuries all year long.  We never had a 3-4-5 to begin with, Hillman will try out many candidates to fill out our rotation, and the only one who may experience some success will be Kyle Davies.


.....One last note... Baseball isn't fair to small market teams.  Something must be done about this.  And don't give me stories about the couple teams that made it, like the Devil-Rays, because it still doesn't make it right.
 

Man On The Moon:
Dodgers win it all.

Lunatic:
Jays - .500 ;)

M Dogg™:
Angels - 1st in the AL West (will any other team in the West even go over .500??)

91-71

Angels will make the playoffs easy, and if we play anyone but the Red Sox in the first round, we'll get to the AL series championship, which we'll get eliminated by the Red Sox.
