LSB picks the winners

by Randy Richardson on Apr 4, 2010 6:43 PM CDT

Since the "experts" are doing it, I thought we should pick all the division winners and major award winners on the eve of Rangers opening day. I'll put mine in the comment section.

AL East - XXXXX

AL Central - XXXXX

AL West - XXXXX

AL WC - XXXXX

AL Champ - XXXXX

AL MVP - XXXXX

AL Cy Young - XXXXX

AL ROY - XXXXX

Repeat for NL and put your WS Champ at the end.

Giants over Twins in WS

Brett Anderson over King Felix, Greinke, and Verlander

bold statement

I like Anderson as a pitcher, I’m not sure he’s there yet

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

I really like him a lot,

it’s definitely a long shot pick though.

by Randy Richardson on Apr 4, 2010 7:02 PM CDT up reply actions

I agree.

He’ll be awesome, but not up to the ones you mentioned quite yet. imo

Rangers’ manager Ron Washington gets fired at the end of May and Clint Hurdle takes over. With the Rangers a distant third in the division, Hurdle brings the Rangers within 2 games of the division lead in July before injuries kill the Rangers changes. The Rangers get their young players and rookies valuable experience in the fall. 2011 is the Rangers’ year!

I predict the Rangers will win 87 games. Same as last year. But it’s still not good enough for postseason play.

Full Standings Prediction

I decided to go with projections that reflect a slice of reality. I.e. the division champs winning what I think it will take to win the divisions and the cellar dwellers being pretty bad, instead of just settling for each team’s mean. I fully admit this will probably make the overall record a bit less accurate.

AL East
New York 100-62
Tampa Bay 95-70
Boston 91-75
Baltimore 79-83
Toronto 63-99

AL Central
Minnesota 86-76
Chicago 82-80
Cleveland 78-84
Detroit 75-87
Kansas City 69-93

AL West
Texas 91-71
Los Angeles 86-76
Seattle 81-81
Oakland 73-89

NL East
Philadelphia 91-71
Atlanta 87-75
Florida 82-80
New York 76-86
Washington 70-92

NL West
St. Louis 90-72
Chicago 84-78
Cinncinati 80-82
Milwaukee 77-85
Pittsburgh 71-91
Houston 68-94

NL West
Colorado 91-71
Los Angeles 86-76
San Francisco 82-80
Arizona 78-84
San Diego 66-96
