So, is that all? I don't like any of these teams. There's not a single "ace" in the division. What a joke. Chicago's in the West, isn't it?

At least I won't be resigned to last year's standings, though. I imagine the Dodgers have to be the punitive favorite, by virtue of their payroll if nothing else. Remember, though -- two teams in baseball history have won a World Series with a twenty-two year old catcher. They won't be the third.

The other four teams will be lucky to reach .500, but damned if I could separate one team from another. Lousy pitching, decent lineups straight across the board. I'll go with Arizona for second place, since they have a decent bullpen, and Colorado third because I'm too chicken to drop them further. That leaves only the California teams, and a coin flip puts the Friars above the Sailors Giants. Sorry, UD.
