The Yankees should have no problem making it into the playoffs again, especially since they actually have a good starting rotation this year. Sabathia is one of the best pitchers, Nova should continue to improve, Pineda has ace potential, Kuroda brings another veteran presence and Hughes / Garcia are good as a #5. Plus they got rid of Burnett and I expect Arod to have a bounce back year as long as he remains healthy, 30 HRs and 100 RBIs.


I think so too ...

but somehow I don't think Burnett was that bad, I hope he will do well after recovering from his injury. The Pirates need him and I think he can be a great contributor for the team.

Hopefully I can see the Yankees in the WS again. The last couple of years were mehhh

And damn those timezones. Most of the good games are at 1am in the morning here :( at least mlb.tv has an archive

I hope they will win the AL East first ...
thanks to the new wildcard rules anything than winning it will be a russian roulette

Ichiro got three more hits under his belt as the Mariners are off to a great start!

 

Hi Noname.

I tremble at the sight of a geriatric outfielder. Hope he doesn't break a hip!

Bet you McCarthy will go on the DL first. :/

Haha! Still will probably out hit everyone in MLB this year.

 

Got any player you want to use? Not sure what to do with it. Was thinking of a fantasy baseball thread before I made this. I give you ....Chipper Jones!

Pass!

I suppose I'd take an A who's productivity is not certain, but who has a lot of potential. I'll take Cespedes, see how that goes.



I'm very interested in what Jesus Montero is capable of if he gets a full seasion in the big leagues
I wouldn't also count Albert Pujols and Robinson Cano out this year ... great defence and offence

My pick is Montero because im quite curious (at least I will watch his stats after each game)

I'll take Pujols. He's going to kill the ball this year.

You just watch.

Pujols just wanted big money, thats why he left ...
now he has to prove he is worth the money



spurgeonryan said

Pujols ....where is he from originally? That is usually what happens. I remember and I am sure everyone else remembers A-Rod leaving Seattle. That was just a crazy amount of money at the time. Still is.


He was with the Cardinals and won the World Series that year.

edit:

I think he was a Cardinal for his for his whole life



Here's your answer spurgeonryan:

Would the Blue Jays have better success at of the AL east (if I'm honest I don't follow Baseball)?

Oh yes! Pujols will come back with some renewed vigor, and show Anaheim that he was worth it. I missed the trade, did he leave because he wanted to or did they just trade him away?

I am interested in Seeing how Montero does for the Mariners as well!

 

*edit*

 

Mariners are doing great! My adopted team here in Illinois the White Sox are not.

Pujols was a free agent.  He could have signed with anyone.  He decided to not sign a contract extension with the Cardinals before the 2011 season.
