A unicorn named Hope?

But in all seriousness, the Jays will be 5th in the AL East.

Jays will still finish ahead of the O's. 2010 will be a different story.

I am going to wait closer to Opening Day to reveal my predictions. Still lots of free agents out there the WBC can factor in as well.

Re: Early 2009 projections?

AL East
1. New York
2. Boston
3. Tampa
4. Baltimore
5. Toronto

Toronto is...

AL Central
1. Detroit
2. Minnesota
3. Chicago
4. Cleveland
5. Kansas City

Detroit was built for last year, but they come through this year.

AL West
1. Los Angeles
2. Texas
3. Seattle
4. Oakland

Shouldn't even be close.


NL East
1. Philadelphia
2. New York
3. Atlanta
4. Florida
5. Washington

Washington is a ****ing joke of a franchise. They will finish with the worst season in the history of Major League Baseball. Bunch of losers. All of them.

NL Central
1. Chicago
2. Milwaukee
3. St. Louis
4. Houston
5. Cincinnati
6. Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh's going to suck.

NL West
1. Los Angeles
2. Arizona
3. San Francisco
4. San Diego
5. Colorado

If Manny Ramirez returns to Los Angeles, they win. If he doesn't, then swap them with Arizona. Other than that, the bottom three teams are going to suck.

Re: Early 2009 projections?

There's a couple big "if's" for the Twins and how well they do this year. IF they sign a 3B, IF they trade Young, IF Mauer can stay healthy again this year, IF the young pitching staff can have a repeat performance.

That's a lot of IFs, hopefully it'll work out for the better this year.

That might be the case if the Blue Jays didn't suck so much.

Re: Early 2009 projections?

Our pitching, or lack thereof, will ensure our place in the AL East cellar.. can you say a team ERA that might approach 6? I knew you could
