w00tness Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah, they will be scary this year, as I thought they would be much better last year. I really have no idea what is gonna happen in this division. The Twins did much better last year than I thought, is it gonna be the same this year? Do the White Sox do as well as they get older? The Indians have the talent to make a run, and the Royals are considerably better than what they have been.I don't see how the Sox are getting any older - if anything, they're getting younger. There's a good chance our starting 3B will be a 19 year old, Javier Vazquez and Jose Contreras are being replaced by young pitchers out of the minor leagues, our 2B is probably going to be Chris Getz, another youngster out of Charlotte and we'll be using two 25 year olds (I think younger, even) as our backup catchers; replacing Toby Hall. I'm not saying we're a better team, but we're certainly not an older team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyc Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 My only predictions are that I would not be surprised if the Yankees went the way of the 2008 Tigers, and that Toronto will not make the playoffs again...unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJBerthiaume Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 As of right now (changes expected after offseason is final and spring training starts)AL EAST:RaysRed SoxYankeesOriolesBlue JaysI honestly think the Rays still have the best team with the Red Sox close behind. The Yankees aren't far behind, but I just don't think it's going to work for them for some reason. Burnett is no sure thing, and most of the rest of their team is fairly old and past their prime. AL CENTRAL:TwinsIndiansRoyalsTigersWhite SoxI don't want to get too hyped about the Twins cuz they generally finish the opposite of expected. WATCH OUT FOR THE ROYALS!!! They have made some pretty good moves this offseason and they have a good manager. White Sox, well, I just don't like you. I also think they have hurt their team more than improved it.AL WEST: AngelsA'sRangersMarinersAngels have too much pitching not to win the division. A's will make a strong case for Wild Card, but not enough pitching will cause them to fall short. Rangers, not enough pitching. Mariners, ugly bad.NL EAST: MetsPhilliesBravesMarlinsNationalsThe Mets have improved their bullpen so much that they should win at least ten more games than last year. Phillies very close behind, will finish no more than 3 games back of the Mets. Natinoals in the cellar unless they sign Manny.NL CENTRAL:CubsAstrosCardinalsBrewersRedsPiratesCubs have great pitching mixed with great hitting, how are they not going to win theis division unless they run into a billion injuries. No one will fall even close to the Cubs or the Wild Card, the rest of this division will be pretty close to eachother.NL WEST:DodgersDiamondbacksRockiesGiantsPadresThis is providing the Dodgers sign Manny. If they don't I give the nod to the DBacks.Playoffs to come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think they have hurt their team more than improved it.Well, we don't like you either! I don't think I can disagree with your statement, though. I like the fact that Kenny Williams wants to make the team younger and faster, but at this point we're in need of two starting pitchers, a center fielder and a second baseman. We can certainly fill those holes with prospects, but that wouldn't really make the team any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
