MLB Picks Team

Ok, since the season begins tomorrow morning according to MLB, but we in these parts know the season begins at the Stadium on March 31, 2008 at 1:05 p.m, against Toronto ... Anyways here are my picks for the 2008 season, most will probably be wrong, but hey what the hell.

AL East
1. Red Sox--yeah, I have to pick them, but they might get off to a slow start with all the travel.
2. Yankees--They might get off to a slow start, thanks to the young pitchers on the staff. They might take a hit record wise this year, but 2009 and 2010 look out.
3. Blue Jays--Could make a run at the top of the division, and could get a wildcard spot if things with one of the top two teams falls apart.
4. Tampa Rays--New name, still in fourth
5. Baltimore Orioles--It'll be a long year for the O's

AL Central
1. Detroit Tigers--Big pickups in the off season could prove to be just what the doctor ordered.
2. Cleveland Indians--Will be fighting it out with the Tigers all year, my pick the wildcard is coming out of this division.
3. Chicago White Sox--Middle of the pack
4. Kansas City Royals--Saw a highlight on Sports Center tonight, one of the Royals was coming down the first base line, and hurdled the first baseman and avoided the tag, great play.
5. Minnesota Twins--Tough year, but future looks bright.

AL West
1. Seattle Mariners--Look for good things from the M's this year.
2. (Pick a town) Angels--Good lineup, and strong arms in pen, just what you would want.
3. Texas Rangers--Can't name one
4. Oakland A's--It'll be a long year.

Picks
Wild Card: Yankees with my heart, but it'll probably be whoever doesn't win the AL Central
ALCS Winner: Cleveland

I'll have National League picks and major award winner picks later.
