Straight up. I know the dude always had the power but would strike out constantly in the past.

Its amazing, or embarrassing, that they were the worst team with one of the highest payrolls last year. They have been bit hard by some of the big deals they gave out
You better hope that doesn't happen to the Stros when Altuve is at the end of his mega contract.  That was a HUGE contract and I can't say he'll live up to it until I see it.

I wonder about Correa and springer and bregman contracts. All 3 could demand over 200m

Right now they are, but an injury, the end of the contract, who knows then. One bad year and he isn't worth that contract. Its hard to believe Altuve will keep the same numbers he has now moving forward for every year. Might even have a bad year somewhere.

Sorry Mexi, Dodgers look like they're a mess right now. I never believed they were the best and I only picked them to win the division because I didn't think anyone else was a strong suitor. We shall see, but Dodgers look like they have a bunch of reserves playing.

Calling a team a mess after one week... Im dying
I'm just looking at their roster.  A lot different than last year.  Kemp is one of the washed up guys.  They'll likely be okay throughout the year, but they're not the dominant Dodgers of last year who took off until the end of the season.  They're not going to be.
 
I'm not saying they will be a mess all season, I'm saying they're a mess now.

That was not an easy pitch to hit at all
Kluber is a top 3 pitcher in the world, doesn't matter how easy the pitch was to hit, you have to be on the lookout for so much when he's on the hill

Arizona owns us
Remember I thought the DBacks were going to beat them in the nlds
DBacks have won 8 straight series vs the dodgers

Theyre not a mess, they're just not hitting and you know that'll happen eventually

I'm not worried about this division. I dont think the Rockies or dbacks are better than the dodgers

Just relax lol. 7 games

He'll slow down, he's gonna strikeout so much as a hitter. Really impressive to start tho

20 homers
260/340/400 slash

Mid-3 ERA with 150+ K's

Maybe not this year but if he does something like that one day? MVP

my "hate" is because he wasted the dodgers time. Both Kershaw and Turner were at the meeting and said that

But I'll get over it

Pitchers will adjust I'm sure

I still picked Dodgers to win the division, don't forget that.
 
I just don't see any other clear favorite.  I love the Rockies but just don't think they have enough.  They got lucky last year.
 
Oh and didn't those "awful" Giants win two games against the Dodgers as well?
