In a year that many predict will go pretty smoothly and much like last year, I have predicted a few changes in the so-called system. Though the main powers still stand above the rest and win the standings, stand-out teams like the Giants, Mariners and Reds all improve from the year before and have changes at very good seasons. This year, some teams have been able to build-up according to defense ...

Lets face it, no one ever gets the predictions for the season anywhere close to perfect. Every year new players blossom and new teams show up and act ready for the big show.
