Spring Training!

Spring Training has officially arrived! All players are to report by Friday. This is one of the most exciting times of the year! Baseball is back and spring/summer is right around the corner! All teams start with a clean slate. Each team believes it has a legitimate chance of winning the World Series. There will be a few surprise teams this season. I believe the Cubs could be a surprise in the National League. The Kansas City Royals will be the other surprise in the American League. The Royals are full of young talent! They have modeled their franchise after the Atlanta Braves. Building their Minor League system, building their starting pitching. I believe they are still a season or 2 away from the playoffs, but they do have a legit shot at making the postseason this year. Ned Yost will find a way to get this team rolling. Billy Butler is one of the best young hitters in the game at 25. He is a double's machine, who will only start showing more power in the coming season's. They now have Jonathan Sanchez to be their "Ace" of the staff. My predictions for the coming season are:

Division Winners:
NL East- Atlanta Braves
NL Central- Cincinnati Reds
NL West- L.A. Dodgers
AL East-Boston Red Sox
AL Central- Detroit Tigers
AL West- L.A. Angels

Wild Card:
NL- Philadelphia Phillies
AL- Texas Rangers

These are just predictions. The season hasn't even begun. I know that I can't wait for this season to start! Bring on Spring Training, where every team still has a chance of going undefeated!
