Prediction for 2008

by sabrjay Mon Mar 31, 2008 3:35 am

Thought this would a good topic since the season is about to start. Show off your baseball smarts and predict the season:

AL East - Red Sox
AL Central - Tigers
AL West - Angels ( refuse to call them the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. It's just stupid)
Wild Card - Indians

NL East - Mets
NL Central - Cardinals
NL West - Dodgers
Wild Card - Braves

World Series: Tigers v Braves, Tigers win it in 6

Jay,

Glad to see you pick the Tigers. I've had a soft spot for them since 1984 when my family moved away from Michigan. My brother and I made a pilgrimage to old Tiger Stadium in it's final year. What a trip, what a ballpark.

Apparnetly the batteries in my wireless keyboard were dying and I didn't notice. Problem solved there, but that doesn't mean I am going to spell much better geek

I predict that by mid-summer the Big Unit will again pass Clemens and take over second place in lifetime Ks permanently. And I predict that Craig Biggio will not take the opportunity to join Cobb, Musial, Speaker and Rose in the 700 lifetime doubles club by hanging around for the 32 which he needs. And I predict that Bobby Abreau, although he missed last year continuing his record setting eight consecutive seasons with 100 or more walks, will continue his assault on this portion of the record book by passing:

53. Billy Hamilton+* 1187 L
54. Charlie Gehringer+* 1186 L
55. Ken Griffey* (38) 1162 L
56. Craig Biggio (42) 1160 R
57. Donie Bush# 1158 B
58. Max Bishop* 1153 L
Toby Harrah 1153 R
60. Chipper Jones# (36) 1152 B
Rank Player (age) Bases on Balls Bats
61. Harry Hooper+* 1136 L
62. Jimmy Sheckard* 1135 L
63. Brett Butler* 1129 L
Jason Giambi* (37) 1129 L
Cal Ripken+ 1129 R
66. Manny Ramirez (36) 1125 R
