Not as crazy as the people picking the White Sox to win the division, because signing a few free agents to a shitty team always equals instant success; see Miami, Toronto, Anaheim.

I think the Mariners are going to be this years Royals. I like the makeup of that team.

Their pitching is pretty good. Their offense still leaves a lot to be desired though.

Also Tdot didn't sign free agents, they just traded all their good prospects for expensive vets lol. I get the point though.

Bautista, Encarnacion, and Donaldson. I think thats the best 3-4-5 in baseball right now which sounds weird saying lol. Red Sox are up there as well.

We have so much offensive depth, it's crazy


Our starting day lineup will probably be:

RF Betts
2B Pedroia
DH Ortiz
LF Ramirez
3B Sandoval
1B Napoli
CF Castillo
SS Bogaerts
C Vazquez

With Nava, Holt, Victorino, Craig, among others, on the bench. That's a scary 1-8 (Vaz can't hit but he's a defensive gem)

Harvey starting Spring Training today. First game in roughly 18 months. I'm pumped. 
 
By some miracle I have off today, and it's the first ST game the Mets are televising.

Harvey looked great, Syndergaard was OK. Got in to trouble. needs to be more confident in his secondary pitches when he gets in to trouble, because he was in a jam and was just throwing heat over and over. Finally dropped the curve and caught the batter looking to end the inning. Got two strikeouts on that curve. 
 
He'll be good, just has to learn how to use his entire repertoire when in trouble.

Didn't get a chance to watch any of the games yet, but I go to school at ASU and I'm planning on viewing the Cubs quite a bit, I'm too excited to see what this young talent can do given a chance, the addition of Joe Maddon was huge, he's going to be a phenomenal mentor, teacher, and coach to them. Maybe an NL Central push this year?

Yu Darvish is already done for the season. Good thing none of my fantasy drafts didn't start yet.
