Baseball Prediction Time!

I forget how much I like baseball until every April when I hear the words "opening day." I love it, because baseball is a sport where a roster can be the same from the year before, yet their win total can jump twenty games simply because of player development. That is what gives most every team hope every spring. Can Heyward spark the Braves? Will the young arms in Cincinatti make them a contender? Will the Marlins bullpen get their shit together? (Answer: no. But still, don't count them out.). Here's to another good baseball season, and hoping no team in New York wins it all.
