With 2 days remaining until the open of the 2011 season, it's time for my annual predictions post.
Last year didn't exactly show me to be a master prognosticator (AJ winning Cy Young? Ugh!), but this year I have my Nostradamus hat on and will undoubtedly fare much better!
AL East-
1. Red Sox
2. Yanks
3. Rays
4. O's
5. Blue Jays
While it is true the Sox picked up 2 very good players this off season, they also lost 2 substantial pieces from last year's team. Replacing Beltre with Gonzalez and Vmart with Crawford may or may not be a push, the Sox still have a better rotation than the Yanks and I think it will carry them to a very close win of the AL East crown.
AL Central-
1. Twins
2. Tigers
3. White Sox
4. Cleveland
5. Kansas City
2011 may be the last year teams will be able to kick the Royals around...enjoy it while it lasts!
AL West
1. Oakland
2. Texas
3. LAA
4. Seattle
A solid, young staff and some nice additions make the A's the team to beat out west
NL East-
1. Phillies
2. Braves
3. Marlins
4. Nationals
5. Muts
The turmoil continues in Queens where Reyes is traded mid-season and the team loses 100 games.
NL Central-
1. Brewers
2. Reds
3. Cards
4. Cubs
5. Pirates
Don't worry...by all accounts teams will be beating up on the Pirates for years to come!
NL West-
1. Giants
2. Rockies
3. Dodgers
4. Padres
5. DBacks
AL Wild Card - Yanks
NL Wild Card - Braves
AL
Yanks over Twins
Sox over A's
ALCS - Yanks over Sox
NL
Phillies over Giants

NLCS - Phillies over Brewers
WS - Yanks over Phillies
AL MVP - Alex Rodriguez
