Resolved Question: 2010 MLB final standings prediction?
These are my predictions for the upcoming 2010 MLB season. Now that all the big name free agent names are off the market, it is safe to say the remaining ones won’t make a big impact on the teams they sign with. AL West: intense battle 1. Texas Rangers 95-67 (good pitching staff lineup) 2. Seattle Mariners 90-72 (have a perfect pitching staff, power bat would guarantee playoff slot) 3. Los Angeles Angels 88-74 (while their rivals bulked up, angels lost weight) 4. Oakland Athletics 71-91 AL Central: 1. Minnesota Twins 90-72 2. Chicago White Sox 85-77 (may surpass twins if peavy goes back to full potential) 3. Detroit Tigers 81-81 (lost too many key players) 4. Cleveland Indians 70-92 5. Kansas City Royals 56-106 (would’ve been in 3rd or 4th, lost too many key players) AL East: 1 New York Yankees 105-57 2. WC- Boston Red Sox 93-69 3. Tampa Bay Rays 82-80 4. Baltimore Orioles 79-83 (made good improvements) 5. Toronto Blue Jays 62-100 (loss of Halladay and lack of offseason moves = last place) NL West: 1. Colorado Rockies 95-67 2. San Francisco Giants 90-72 (see seattle mariners) 3. Los Angeles Dodgers 87-75 (see los angeles angels) 4. Arizona Diamondbacks 82-80 (working back to the top) 5. San Diego Padres 66-96 NL Central: 1. St. Louis Cardinals 97-65 2. Milwaukee Brewers 86-76 3. Chicago Cubs 84-78 4. Cincinnati Reds 80-82 5. Houston Astros 64-98 6. Pittsburgh Pirates 57-105 NL East: 1. Philadelphia Phillies 100-62 2. WC-Atlanta Braves 91-71 3. Florida Marlins 83-79 4. Washington Nationals 61-101 (made cheesy improvements) 5. New York Mets 60-102 (weren’t they supposed to be active this offseason?) NLDS: Phillies over Rockies in 5 Cardinals over Braves in 4 NLCS: Cardinals over Phillies in 7 ALDS: Yankees over Twins in 4 Red Sox over Rangers in 3 ALCS: Yankees over Red Sox in 7 World Series: Yankees over Cardinals in 7 Who do you have?
Resolved Question: Will Roy Halladay be celebrated upon his return to Toronto with the Phillies?
On June 25th the Jays and Halladay are reunited in a three game series of Blue Jays vs Phillies. I really hope that the Jays will honor him somehow, even if he is playing for the opposing team. It would really make me proud of the Jays!
Open Question: Do you think Major League Baseball will ever expand to 32 teams?
What do you think of my idea? American League East New York Yankees Boston Red Sox Baltimore Orioles Toronto Blue Jays North Cleveland Indians Chicago White Sox Minnesota Twins Detroit Tigers South Kansas City Royals Texas Rangers Tampa Bay Rays Puerto Rico Islanders (Expansion Team) West Los Angeles Angels Oakland Athletics Seattle Mariners Portland Blue Sox (Expansion Team) National League East New York Mets Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates Washington Nationals North Cincinnati Reds Chicago Cubs Milwaukee Brewers Colorado Rockies South St. Louis Cardinals Houston Astros Atlanta Braves Florida Marlins West Los Angeles Dodgers San Francisco Giants San Diego Padres Arizona Diamondbacks
