Welcome to the official 2011 Baseball Season Predictions Game Thread!

Here is how I see it working. Make your pick for each of the categories. For predictions where you are picking a team, you can only pick one team. If the prediction is for a player, since there is a larger pool available, you can select either one or two. If you pick two players and one of them is correct, you only get half the points. After you make your predictions, you can come back to change them as much as you want until 12:00 pm March 30, 2011. At that point, anyone editing their post in disqualified. The winner gets . . . well, you get bragging rights for the entire offseason. What more could you want?

Pick one team for each–

World Series Winner (5 pts)
National League Pennant (3 pts)
American League Pennant (3 pts)
NL East division winner (2 pts)
NL Central division winner (2 pts)
NL West division winner (2 pts)
AL East division winner (2 pts)
AL Central division winner (2 pts)
AL West division winner (2 pts)
NL most runs scored (1 pt)
NL least runs allowed (1 pt)
AL most runs scored (1 pt)
AL least runs allowed (1 pt)
NL worst record (1 pt)
AL worst record (1 pt)

Pick one player (for full points) or two (for half points) –

NL MVP (3 pts)
AL MVP (3 pts)
NL Cy Young (3 pts)
AL Cy Young (3 pts)
NL Rookie of the Year (2 pts)
AL Rookie of the Year (2 pts)
NL leader – batting average (1 pt)
NL leader – home runs (1 pt)
NL leader – stolen bases (1 pt)
NL leader – earned run average (1 pt)
NL leader – saves (1 pt)
NL leader – strike outs (1 pt)
AL leader – batting average (1 pt)
AL leader – home runs (1 pt)
AL leader – stolen bases (1 pt)
AL leader – earned run average (1 pt)
AL leader – saves (1 pt)
AL leader – strike outs (1 pt)

Predict the number of:
Homeruns by ML leader (1 pt for right on, .5 for +- 2)
Number of ML players with 30+ homeruns (1 pt for right on, .5 for +- 1)
Number of ML pitchers with 20+ wins (1 pt)
Number of ML players with OPS over 1.000 (1pt)
Number of no hitters thrown (1pt)

Perfect score is 62 points (29 from team predictions, 28 from player predictions, and 5 from miscellaneous.) In the event of a tie, the winner is whoever last edited (or originally posted if unedited) their predictions first.
