January 26, 200422 yr I love the off season because once we all have it all "figured out" the regular season throws us a major curveball and defies expectations. But what the hell, let's do our best to guess anyway! I'm going by gut instinct on this one (I assume Pedro's injuries dissappear because he is on his walk year and he is the best pitcher in history...) NL MVP 1, 2, 3 1. Barry Bonds 2. Albert Pujols 3.

January 26, 200422 yr Author For the sake of debate: Vlad is NOT going to be the SB champ! He's not even fast!
January 26, 200422 yr yeah, i didn't mean to put Vlad there, i was doing something else at another site while typing this. i meant to have Soriano there.
January 26, 200422 yr actually, i'm going to change my AL Cy Young to Roy Halladay, because i really don't think Brown will be healthy for the entire season.
January 26, 200422 yr Author I'm not cool with that! If PEdro goes down, Hudson will by the Cy Young winner!

January 27, 200422 yr For the sake of debate: Vlad is NOT going to be the SB champ! He's not even fast! Vlad not fast? He's finished in the top 4 in SB twice (with 37 in 2001, 40 in 2002). Now he didn't run much last year, and he probably won't run more with his bad back and in the AL, but he's certainly very fast.

Now he didn't run much last year, and he probably won't run more with his bad back and in the AL, but he's certainly very fast. getting cauth about 40% of the time is not fast. I have seen him play, he's not fast!
January 27, 200422 yr there's a difference between being fast and stealing bases. because you're fast doesn't mean you're good at stealing bases (see Guillen, Jose and Kearns, Austin). and just because you've got average speed doesn't mean you're a poor basestealer (see Boone, Aaron and Dunn, Adam)
January 28, 200422 yr Author Yeah, I have seen Guerrero run, he's not fast. he looks to heavy to begin with!
