PRESEASON PREDICTIONS
Uh-oh. The owner expects a World Series and the writers are calling for us to finish 5th in a very tight AL East. 80-82. They expect the Red Sox, Angels, Cardinals, and Astros to make the play-offs. AL Top Hitter: Wade Boggs, Royals (#4 Paul Molitor, #10 Ken Phelps) AL Top Pitcher: Mark Langston, Royals (#4 Nolan Ryan) NL Top Hitter: Will Clark, Expos NL Top Pitcher: Dwight Gooden, Astros Our system isn't bad, ranking #11. Our top prospect is Lawrence Leveret, who came in the Daniel Peters trade, at #11. He will start the season at A-ball.

As bad as losing 11-3 to the Royals was, the real bad news was Ryne Sandberg leaving the game with a partially torn labrum. It looks like he will miss the next six weeks. Hunter Myers homered for Toronto. WP - Danny Cox (1-0) LP - Dave Stieb (0-1) Record - 0-2

Rickey Henderson set the tone by leading off with a home run on his way to going 3 for 4 and scoring four times in an 11-6 win by the Jays over the Yankees. Ken Phelps and Paul Molitor also homered. Eric Plunk left the game with a strained oblique. It is expected that he just needs up to a week of rest. WP - Dave Stieb (1-1) Save - Antonio Gonzalez (1) LP - Bruce Hurst (0-1) Record - 3-4

What should have been a great match-up between Mark Langston and Nolan Ryan was interrupted by a 95 minute rain delay in the 5th. Ultimately the Royals were better able to get to the Toronto bullpen and beat them 5-1. Lee Yandell homered for the only Toronto run. WP - Pete Rabinovich (1-0) Save - Rob Murphy (1) LP - Nolan Ryan (2-2) Record - 7-7
