    World Series Champions - Predict?

    Interested to see who everyone will pick ... I can only guess most people's choice will be Phills ... I am not making my final prediction until later in the offseason when I'm doing my preview .. but for this threads sake I say early favorite for myself is Red Sox...

    I will keep a talley.... include a little write up if you want!

    Phillies are the biggest favs right now due to their rotation but in baseball you can never know.

    I'm gonna buy some tickets in spring training to hedge later, sweet deal.

    I'm actually really liking the Braves. They had a really good season last year and are only getting better.

    Boston and Philadelphia are my two early frontrunners, clearly not going out on a limb.
    Oakland and the Dodgers are my two long-shot predictions.

    i need to wait to see how the rest of the off-season goes and how teams stock their bullpens but yea as of now its definitely phillies over red sox.

    ive predicted 2 of the last 3 world series champs right! had the phillies and yankees right when they both won the previous 2 years but i had phillies winning this year. dang giants!

    Sure, with TIm Hudson as your ace.

    nah, mlb. I'm gonna get some really weird futures to try and hedge later, A's for example.

    since no one else in east did anything this year and my mets made huge moves like paulino we will easily win the national league. In the American league looks like kansas city should be stacked again so mets and royals

    if you believe this i have some beachfront property in colorado to sell you

    I like this futures wager. They're gonna be underrated this year.

    I dont think that having the mvp and the cy young on the same team is underrated

    AL Central is gonna be good this year, I don't think twins make it to the playoffs.

    Hate the Red Sox but with that line-up they are going to be nasty.
    Oakland needs some hitting.

    Oakland got Willingham, MAtsui-san, DeJesus.

    If they do get Beltre(which I believe they don't), they'll be a very solid team.

    Exactly. A's offense has gotten dramatically better this offseason. If Cliff Pennington and Daric Barton can keep on improving as well, they could be a team to look out for in the West. I'm really looking forward to see what this club can do in 2011.

    I'm really liking the White Sox and the Tigers for now. Plus the White Sox will do anything to trade in for more talent come the trade deadline.
    Lets not forget about the trade deadline and September expansion. That usually makes a difference especially for the Giants.

    Jmobile, white sox are a better team than the tigers. Their rotation and lineup are better than tigers'
