Hey guys, AMERICAN LEAGUE - Divsion A Projected Finish
Ok, so this is easily the most one sided division. BC will likely win by 30 games. This isn't even one of Glen's best teams. Tucker
and Casas were hurt...Carroll and Rodriguez had down years...still this team is young and loaded. It will be an uphill battle in the years
to come for BG, AG and AT. Coming off of it's championship BG's offense tanked. They have some pitching with Webb, Greene and Holton, but
not much pop in a year when the HR is king. Arsenal has some pop with Harper, Hernandez, Merrill et all, but next to no pitching. Atlanta
has a lot of young talent led by Skenes, Guerrero and Tatis...but pitching is very thin after Skenes. Maybe next year for them. I feel
confident there will be no wild card team coming ouf of this division. ....click here to see projected team details for the American League Division A AMERICAN LEAGUE - Divsion B Projected Finish
Another AL division that looks like a one team race. The Boars are solid, not great but the balance of offense, SPing and RPing makes them easily
the most complete team in the division. They don't appear to be a great playoff team but should be good over 162 games. Picking up Blanco was very big
to round out the rotation. Rooker has turned into a beast for the Admirals, who definitely have some weapons. However, the pitching gives up too many
long balls in a HR friendly park. Jim J regularly over achieves...great manager, but he will have his work cut out with the mediocre bunch. No real
studs anywhere...just some decent players, HT looks like a .500 team to me. If you LOVE THE LONGBALL, the Grits are your play. Judge alone will probably
hit 70. GG will easily hit 300 bombs and give up another 300. The average score of a Grits' game will probably surpass what the NE Patriot's did last
year...with about the same W-L results. I'd say there is a good chance the Admirals are a wild card team, but it's wait til next year for HT and GG. ....click here to see projected team details for the American League Division B AMERICAN LEAGUE - Divsion C Projected Finish
This is the best division in the AL. Still, it looks like a one team race. After a busy offseason the Dreamers are locked and loaded and I'd say
the favorite to come out of the AL. Massive seasons by Ohtani and Soto and a very deep rotation will lead to north of 100 wins. The pen is solid, not
great, but won't be necessary during the regular season. It's possible all three wild card teams could come out of this division. All three are flawed
but solid. LW is good, but I don't like all of the LH SPing. Good offensive squad though with Betts, Yelich and Lindor at the top. Hitting vs RHP will
be the Achilles heal for UR...that's a big short coming. But solid SPing the pen is good. Secret weapon = Guether! Louisville can play some D! Three
1's in the infield and three 1's in CF. Yikes. Just hit it to Altuve. A pretty good rotation and pen as well. Who are Walker and Gaddis?! This
should be a fun division to watch. ....click here to see projected team details for the American League Division C

I'm going to say this is the best division in the league. I think CT, NB and HZ will all make the playoffs. Sorry Roland...if you were in Glen's division
you'd be a second place wild card contender. In this division I just don't see it. CT has a very good offense. Witt had a monster season. Their SPing is just
ok, but the pen is top notch with Iglesias and Hoffman. The Bohemians are like those Chiefs used to be...will hit lots of HRs...with a wrinkle...they can
actually pitch. Yates = Yikes! SS is a problem though. Ahmed is a good D replacement, but will be tough to win with Bogaerts and Moore manning the bulk of the
duties. I'm sure a trade will come. The Kegs are also solid. Duran and Greene's breakouts and Skukbal at the top of the rotation makes them tough. It should be
a dog fight to win the division. I like CT, but who knows. And the Klubbers are not bad. Could they surprise again like last year? I'm betting against that. ....click here to see projected team details for the National League Division A NATIONAL LEAGUE - Divsion B Projected Finish
I believe this is Norwich's division to lose. Solid team...good D, balanced lineup, deep Sping and fantastic back end of the pen with Adam and Miller. The 89ers and
Jarheads are not bad, and Rob and Bill are great managers so they will not go away easily. AS's lineup is shallow and the pitching is mediocre at best. The Jarheads'
offense took a beating with the Trout and Acuna injuries and Goldschmidt aging out. They have a few pitchers with Ragans, Francis and Yamanoto, but I don't think that
will be enough to keep up with Norwich. Wall Street is not bad either and Kenny is a good manager so will do well subbing for Joe. Adding Horwitz to the lineup is a nice
boost and Nola, Eovaldi and Grasnow are not chopped liver. The pen is pretty shallow though. I think maybe one wild card team could come from this division, but I
wouldn't count on it. ....click here to see projected team details for the National League Division B NATIONAL LEAGUE - Divsion C Projected Finish
Only sure thing here is that Southboro sucks per Rich's plan and will probably have the top pick in next year's draft. Illinois is pretty good, but a bit weak vs RHP and
the written instructions thing makes it tough for them to compete as they normally struggle on the road. Good SPing should keep them in the mix though. Burlington is
similar...not great vs RHP, solid rotation, OF not great and a fantastic closer in Estevez but a dicey pen after that. That leaves Zanti who I make a favorite to win the
division. The resurrection of Sale and nice pickups in Bride and Profar make a difference. If they struggle it will likely be the pen letting them down. Outside of Southboro
this should be a competitive division. ....click here to see projected team details for the National League Division C
