Tigers have the best 1 to 12 staff in Baseball and Gary Scheffield will boost the offense beyond last year.
Atlanta has a lot of good young players (McCann, Johnson, Francouer, Langerhans, Thorman, Kelly Johnson), Tim Hudson makes a comeback, Andruw Jones is MVP and the Bullpen turns games into 6 inning affairs, (and Craig Wilson will provide the offense that Jeff Conine won't).
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

Witty signature.
Me and a friend of mine (who is a Mets fan) always try to pick who will finish the best out of each division every year. I was wondering what some of your picks are for this year. Here are mine:
AL East: Red Sox / Blue Jays
AL Central: Tigers / Twins
AL West: Anaheim
NL East: Braves / Mets
NL Central: Brewers
NL West: Dodgers / Diamondbacks
I really like the look of Arizona. They have some superb young players and will really be in contention for the next few years if they hang on to them.
This would've been a good thread, say, over a month ago before the season started.
Can we pick two teams from every division?
I'm sure I can pick at least 5 of 6 division winners that way and parlay that into an expert gig on a major network.
Just busting chops pal.
This thread might be a good idea for people to go back and change their minds on their pre season picks.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13, 15
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98

Here are the picks I made at the start of the season. Some of them are already looking bad.
AL:
East- Red Sox
Central- Indians
West- Angels
WC- Detroit
NL:
East- Phillies
Central- Cardinals
West- Dodgers
WC- Diamondbacks
The World Series is going to be Indians over Dodgers.
Shak.....Did you seriously pick the Cardinals to win the NL Central???
You do know they have the worst offense in MLB and Carpenter is now out basically for the season? My Astros are bad, but the Cards are worse and not repeating. The Cards are probably going to challenge 100 loses.
I actually think the Brewers or Reds can win the central. But the Reds will have to fix the bullpen in a hurry.
