MH's 2010 Baseball Predictions/Thoughts

With Opening day quickly approaching I thought I would start my blogging career off with my predictions for the 2010 MLB season. As a Cardinals fan I am very optimistic about this season and can not wait to see if Holliday is worth the money. We saw many very interesting trades this off-season and I think we could be in store for a very parody filled season in the American League West, as well as a very competitive race in possibly the best division top to bottom in the National League East. Read, complain, discuss!

Call me a homer all you want, they won't choke this year. Let me know how realistic you think my predictions are, or how bogus you think they are.

  1. No real problems with anything besides your bias :)

    The most interesting division will be the AL West. You could put any team in any order and have a legitimate reason to do so.

  2. I love the Mariners this year.. I believe it will be the Angels giving them a run not the Rangers though. I personally like the Giants in the NL West, and something is telling me the Rays are going to get back to the playoffs this year!!!

    Go Astros!!
