Ok, lets lump them all in one post. No division has a clear favorite this season and that could call for some exciting baseball all season.
National League West
Order they will finish: Colorado, Los Angelas, San Diego, Arizona, San Francisco
Best offensive player: Theres so many good players in the NL West this is hard to call. Matt Holiday may just end up with the best season.
Best pitcher: Barry Zito will flourish in the NL this season and finish as the top guy in the division.
Biggest dissapointment: Barry Bonds breaks Hank Aarons record.
American League West
Order they will finish: Texas, Los Angelas, Oakland, Seattle
Best offensive player: Each team has a player who is worthy for selection here, but Ichiro in a contract year is going to have a huge season. Were talking an epic kind of season, a Ted Williams kind of season.
Best pitcher: No one really stands out here Jared Weaver and Felix Hernandez are probably the best two pitchers in the division, but for now i'm going with Huston Street.
Biggest dissapointment: Ichiro will remain in Seattle all season.
National League Central
Order they will finish: Milwaukee, Chicago, St. Louis, Cincinatti, Houston, Pittsburgh
Best offensive player: Albert Pujols, duh!
Best pitcher: Chris Carpenter is by far the best pitcher in the division if not the league.
Biggest dissapointment: Atleast for Astros fans its Roger Clemens doesn't return to the Astros.
American League Central
Order they will finish: Cleveland, Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City
Best offensive player: Justin Morneau edges Travis Hafner here because of his defensive play.
Best pitcher: Johan Santana!
Biggest dissapointment: That only one team will come out of this division. Unlike last year when the Wildcard came from the central, the division will only see one team advance. Likely scenerio has the top four teams within about 8 games at seasons end, best case scenerio has Kansas City joining them, though they probably don't have the pitching for that to happen.
National League East
Order they will finish: Philadelphia, New York, Atlanta, Florida, Washington
Best offensive player: Ryan Howard.
Best pitcher: No one really deserves to be named here. The pitching in this division is rather pathetic.
Biggest dissapointment: Washington. At best there rotation is AAA caliber. This team has no business fielding such a pathetic staff.
American League East
Order they will finish: Boston, New York, Toronto, Tampa Bay, Baltimore
Best offensive player: David Ortiz.
Best pitcher: Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Biggest dissapointment: David Ortiz will once again be robbed of the MVP award.
