Spring Training is Here!

[JesRey]

Who's excited? Baseball resumed earlier this week.

My Dodgers won yesterday! and have a game in an hour.

[B.I.G.Poppa]

Halladay smacked the Yankees around in his debut. So far, so good!

I can't wait, Los Tigres to win the Central

[Sports Collector]

I've never been so excited for a season to start!

Can't wait....The Tribe's pitching looks pretty decent so far and Sizemore looks 100%...time to win that weak AL Central!

Spring Training is really a toss up to be fair, on paper though the Indians really should be better, they got some solid pitchers, although that bullpen is pretty questionable

The bullpen should be a lot better this year....the starters are the problem.

We have more than enough bats to win the Central...the pitching is what will hold them back.

Cardinals second best team in the national league?

I think it will depend on these guys:

Skip Schumaker
Brendan Ryan
David Freese
Colby Rasmus

All really young guys that are projected to start in IF spots this year except for Rasmus who will be in the OF. The key for him is no sophmore slump...was on pace for ROY at one point last year and you guys know how that ended.

Nope they are third... Phillies and Dodgers are the two best.

Really? Wow, I thought some of the starting pitching could be decent, Masterson, Laffey and Carrasco could be solid, no comment of Fausto or Sowers lol

this is correct, Dodgers are much better simply because of there bats, the pitching is somewhat sketchty starter wise but they have possibly the best bullpen in baseball

True and the only real player we lost was Randy Wolf. But he wasn't amazing.

Cardinals lost Mark De Rosa and Joel Pinero.

Kershaw should settle down this year, get deeper into games, Billingsley still has boatloads of potential, Padilla was solid last season, i dont know the other two starters though lol

but they have Ethier & Kemp, that alone is good enough to win with

Yeah, Hiroki Kuroda who was great last year until he was hit in the head against the Dbacks. Our 5th starter is what's up for grabs.

I would be open to trading Manny to an AL team during the deadline to get a pitcher. Since this is his last year here, why not get something in return for him?

You guys wont get much for Manny i'd guess, to much baggage, especially if he doesn't produce, and if he is producing, you'll need him come postseason time
