    Nice predictions. Of course, me being a Marlins fan, and being a writer on this site – I would be biased in favor of the Marlins all the way. But, you make great predictions that I agree with for the most part. I really am not in the buisness of making predictions as I am of the belief that everything one predicts,  later back-fires but it still fun. Great predictions. Lets see how it plays out.

    Hard to read the comments with the sidebar here in place. The predictions are on point except I don’t think Hanley will hit 28HR. I see him hitting .260 8HR 68rbis his decline will continue especially in a pitchers park unless he changes his batting stance back to how it was when he first came up, and then won the batting title.
