Pre-season:

AL East: Boston, New York, Tampa Bay, Toronto, Baltimore (looking good but Toronto and TB should be switched)

AL Central: Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, KC (guess I was as fooled as everyone else about Cleveland's dominance)

AL West: Oakland, LAA, Texas, Seattle (Could go any way but LAA seems the worst of the bunch)

NL East: New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Washington, Florida (Pretty good picks here but Florida is better than I thought)

NL Central: Milwaukee, St. Louis, Chicago, Houston, Pittsburgh, Cincinatti (Wow Cinci so much better than I thought. Milwaukee will need to turn it on if they are going to win the division lol)

NL West: LA, Arizona, San Francisco, San Diego, Colorado (Again this division could go either way)

World Series: Oakland over Dodgers in 6 games (not likely)

AL MVP: Travis Hafner (not going to happen...most underrated player in baseball now)
AL Cy Young: Rich Harden (so much promise so little health)
AL ROY: Francisco Liriano (could be right on here)

NL MVP: Carlos Delgado (Beltran would win it before him this year)
NL Cy Young: Pedro Martinez (could happen if he stays healthy)
NL ROY: Prince Fielder (could be but facing tough challenge from Uggla and Ramirez)
