NL West

^^yah, i think the "experts" are jumpin the gun a little bit. the giants lineup without bonds is decent, but it lacks power...if he doesnt return by midseason, i think the only chance they have is if 2 of the young pitchers shine and force wack Brett Tomko out of the rotation.

The Dodgers lost Adrian Beltre and Steve Finley during the offseason so there goes all there power in the lineup there not to mention their  pitching staff is kind of shaky.
Derek Lowe? Are you kidding me? The SF Giants will win it and it all starts tomorrow Opening Day when we sweep L.A.Barry Bonds will continue his quest for the home run record as soon as he gets back from the DL list but in the meantime the rest of the team will hold it down.

let me give you a little lesson on the effects Dodger Stadium has on pitchers.  Dodger Stadium reduces doubles and triples and is neutral in home runs.  Now lets take a look at Derek Lowe...most all AL parks, especially Fenway is doubles and triples Heaven so D. Lowe gave up a lot of doubles and triples and with that horrible defense behind him no wonder his ERA was sky rocket high, and Derek Lowe does not give up many Home runs so that gets killed.  So doubles, triples, small number of home runs given up, good KtoBB ratio, amazing OF defense behind him, GOLD GLOVE SS= a really good season from Derek Lowe.

real question is, Is brian sabean kidding?  Alou?!  HIs road stats were horrible last year...Wrigley Field helped him a lot and that wind.

These experts you see on TV are idiots.  I mean John Kruk picked the Padres because he feels that the players are going to be used to playing at Petco.  What a dumb reason to pick a team.  Gammons picked the team because they are deep, Reynolds picked them because their lineup is still strong without Bonds...which is absolutely not.  Without Bonds, from 3-8..the Dodgers are better

these guys are real experts, looking at it through the numbers and not gut feelings
