Ok, not going to try predicting standings yet, but I'll throw in some Phillies predictions for this year:

Random ridiculous prediction #1 for 2003:

Brandon Duckworth will win 15+ games with a 3.5-ish ERA.

Reason for prediction: Despite posting a robust 9.22 K/9 last year and a so-so 3.81 BB/9, opponents pounded him for a .564 Avg on BIP last year. That sort of stat is probably beyond luck, but I have a hard time believing it.

Random ridiculous prediction #2:

Brett Myers will be pitching in Reading by mid-July.

Reason for prediction: Name 1 pitcher in the modern era who has struck out fewer than 4.5 per 9 in their rookie year and had any sort of career.

Random ridiculous prediction #3:

Despite being as valuable as Vladimir Guerrero, Bobby Abreu will be sitting at home during the All-Star game.

Reason for prediction: Doesn't this happen every year?
