I've got the Rangers as my surprise team in Baseball. Think they have the potential to make a run for a playoff berth.

My predictions for divsion winners

AL East: Yankees

AL Central: Tribe

AL West: IDK


NL East: tough one... Between the Braves and Phillies I'd say ATL

NL Central: Cubs

NL West: Dodgers
:scust: How exactly do you have the Yankees over Boston after the season they had and lost like nothing

Kimbrel rumors must mean that Jeffress' low velo problems must be a bit more serious. Hopefully not, cause if we for some reason bring Kimbrel in, and have a fully healthy Jeffress, our bullpen is gonna be full of filth. We'll see.

Oh, and the season technically opens in about 6 hours. Mariners/Athletics in Japan. Ichiro gonna be in the lineup too.

He was until he got hurt last year, then we used everybody to finish games, mostly Jeffress. Knebel will probably get the full-time role back, but the fact that we're even talking to Kimbrel makes me think the Jeffress thing is worse than they're letting on.

This starting the season in Japan a week+ before Opening Day is fukking stupid. Just play some exhibition games over there if you want the extra exposure. :camby:

Attanasio has always been willing to spend if the circumstances were right. He won't go nuts obviously, but I'm sure anything done with Kimbrel will be for a year, and he's cool with that.
