My Pick to Win the 2010 World Series

whatsgood5 · 03-06-10, 04:28 PM

As a Braves fan, I def agree with your analysis of us. It should be the same as last year, excellent pitching, but poor hitting. A big bat was our number one concern coming in to the off-season, and we really didn't address that. I guess if Troy Glaus can stay healthy, we can get 30+ HR's out of him, but I can't expect that out of the guy.

Yep, it will be interesting to see what Chipper Jones does in possibly his last year

Dodgers offense was okay when Manny was out last year, and it's improving every year. Sorry had to throw my homerness out there. I see no value in any of these teams. I like the Braves in their division if you like the futures.

Seems like they struggled with offense in the playoffs which is what I'm worried about more then the regular season. They did the same thing the year before. Also Manny is starting to lose and thinking retirement.

Don't like the Braves, I don't see any conceivable way they beat the Phillies.

its all going to depend on how how glaus and heyward... if these too someone how both play good.. then we might have an offense. Otherwise yes, we didn't pick up good enough hitters.

dodger33 · 03-13-10, 05:36 PM

braves won 86 games last year... their ov/un is 86.5 this year?? They have solid starting pitching, chipper will not have another down year (unless he is hurt) and they picked up melky... they will make some noise this year.

Alexgurv · 03-14-10, 12:37 AM

I can see maybe they have a decent season but are you really considering they can beat the Phillies in the division. The Phillies might not make the World Series, but unless they have a ton of injuries this season I don't see anyway they don't pull away from the Braves in the end. What makes you say Chipper won't have another down year? Wasn't there talk of retirement? Glaus won't hurt you guys but he gets injured a lot and he's got to be up there in the years. The pitching is solid though I will give you that. Jurrjens killed it for me in Fantasy last year

Yeah they were actually really good without him

Carson05 · 03-14-10, 09:52 AM

jason heyward could help vault the braves past the phils

next MLB superstar and ROY

Mr KLC · 03-14-10, 11:03 AM

Phillies will take it this year.

yankees over cardinals

Small rumor that Phillies might trade Howard for Pujols, I'm sure it wont happen

It's not a real rumor, it's just a nonsense article by Buster Olney. No chance it happens.

greenshark11 · 03-14-10, 10:49 PM

go braves!!

TheLock · 03-14-10, 11:01 PM

If the Braves win the World Series I will blow MJFTheGenius

In other words, it ain't gonna happen.

Jericholic · 03-14-10, 11:05 PM

Love the Phillies this year. If they can get any improvement at all from Hamels, they could be a juggernaut.

obamaismyuncle · 03-14-10, 11:06 PM

Twins will win it all.

obamaismyuncle · 03-14-10, 11:07 PM

or Angels.

I saw that too. Can't see it happening though. Would be one of the biggest trades ever though.

EXhoosier10 · 03-15-10, 01:57 AM

Phillies

Alexgurv · 03-15-10, 08:20 AM

sweethook · 03-15-10, 10:03 AM

rob11234 · 03-15-10, 01:11 PM

No way Atlanta can get past the Phils.

OMGRandyJackson · 03-15-10, 01:23 PM

Besides Phillies GM has already stated that it is false.

Im 99% it won't happen.

But GM's lie all the time

toober89 · 03-15-10, 08:13 PM

Sorry i disagree...gonna have to go with the red sox on that one their pitching is just too good

IrishTim · 03-16-10, 01:07 AM

Good luck with this. I'm not a big fan of these one-sided futures, especially when they lock up my money for 6 months.

dyeguy · 03-16-10, 02:58 AM

I'd rather take a small gamble on a longshot like the Dbacks. They will have some solid pitching this year.

I know what you mean but I think it kind of fun to try to see where my head is at before the season starts and take a long at the thread at the end of the season. Also its another team to cheer for. Im a Pirates fans so times are rough

(Although cheering for the Phillies might be considered treason by the older Pirates fans)

I dont see Jackson repeating what he did last year. Nonetheless, it all depends on Webb being healthy.

Alexgurv · 09-28-10, 12:31 AM

Well the Phillies are in. My initial post was actually pretty spot on, especially with the Braves

I like looking at these in the end of the year to see how way off I was or other people were.

All that said, Phillies have no chance

Alexgurv · 10-11-10, 12:01 AM

I quit baseball betting about 3 months ago but should I start hedging

tealish · 10-11-10, 01:26 AM

Yes because the Yankees will take them down.
