Division Winners:

NL East: Phillies - pitching is still too good, although I think they'll yet again miss out on the WS.

NL Central: Reds - will bounce back and take over the division after the Brewers lost Fielder(and possibly Braun for the roids suspension).

NL West: Diamondbacks - team was already good/exciting to watch. improved over the offseason and they still have a stellar farm loaded with talent. Giants/Dodgers/DBacks will race to the very end for this division, but in the end I think Arizona wins.

NL Wild card: Nationals - One of the best rotations in baseball if Strasburg remains healthy. A lineup full of potential. Team is definitely on the rise, and will make the NL East very interesting for years to come.

AL East: Yankees - hate them, but they'll run away with the division..... then get bounced in the postseason lulz.

AL Central: Detroit - another team that IMO will run away with the division, except they might actually make some noise in the postseason.

AL West: Rangers - Flipped a coin for this. I think the Rangers may be the best team in the AL, but the Angels are really good.

AL Wild card: Blue Jays - Yep. They are a good team and I think they finally take that big step forward and make the playoffs. AL East better look out, this team is no joke. Not only do they have a pretty damn talented major league roster, but they have IMO(and many others opinion) the best farm system in baseball.. Alex Anthopoulos is probably the best general manager in the MLB.

I know it's early for this but oh well. Bored.

NL West - Giants

NL Wild Card - Marlins

AL East - Yankees

AL Central - Tigers

AL West - Rangers

AL Wild Card - Angels

Tigers over Phillies in 6

Don't really know what to expect of my Braves this year. I think we'll get between 80-87 wins. Hopefully, Heyward can bounce back; as well as, Jurrjens and Hanson.

The thing that concerns me about the Rangers is, didn't I read that Josh Hamilton is having drug problems again? He was a big part of their Offense.

Don't the Cards have a new skipper? Hard to replace Tony.

CUBS; Cubbies could have a 10 game lead with 9 to go and still blow it!

Reds; Arroyo has to decided whether he wants to be a pitcher or a singer.

Hamilton had a beer at a bar and everyone made a massive deal about it(including him). He's fine.

Cards will definitely took a significant hit this offseason losing Tony & Pujols, but they're still a good team with a loaded farm as well as the return of Wainwright.

Cubs will suck.

Reds will be good because the NL central is no question the worst division in baseball and the Reds improved this offseason with the trade for Latos & arguably the most valuable signing this winter in Ryan Madson.

      Canes vs Stars 8pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Don't look now, but a 3-game win streak, including 2 on the road in back-to-back games. The Canes haven't won 3 straight since the middle of November, over 2 months ago.  Canes held Dallas to 23 SOG, with a lot of those coming in a late game flurry. Canes have had some difficulty keeping SOG down to where we're used to seeing them. The Dallas game was reminiscent of the defense we saw early in the season- standing teams up at the blue line and making zone entry a real pain in the pads.

      [The Athletic] Panthers’ offseason to-do list

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      Agreed with a lot of this. Couple thoughts, especially towards the OL/future cap things... First, I hope Bryce is good enough to command being paid a Top 5 QB salary. Great news for us if so. But as of now, I think he'd be in that mid-tier range, so that $60 gets cut to 30-40. Baker to Stafford range. Obviously the cap will go up and $60 might be the new mid-tier, but either way I think we're fine here. He either continues to ascend and gets paid Top 5 money because he's that good and thank God. Or, he shows he's Baker level, gets a competitive offer that's outside the Top 10, and we're "saving" money (but also paying someone who may not be the "guy" in that scenario).  The OL is the biggest thing going forward IMO. You're 100% right here about the need for an OL, paying them, % of the cap, etc. Which is why in the next couple of drafts, we HAVE to absolutely nail a couple OL picks. We can't realistically tie up that much money in our OL. So we better turn into the Cowboys the late 2010s and constantly have a revolving cycle of a couple highly paid pieces, with drafted guys who step up and take their place once we have to move on. One highly paid OT, one highly paid OG, and then find rookie deals or cheaper vets that fit well.  Point being, we're teetering on the edge of a few foundational pieces being here now. IF, and history isn't on our side here, we can nail the next couple of drafts...we're in a good spot when it comes to the cap and future. If we don't find a couple of defensive cornerstones and find reliable OL depth that can take over for Hunt/Moton/Lewis as they age or contracts balloon...that's when we're right back in hell IMO. No pressure, Dan.
