Prediction;
Giants --- 75 wins. Struggle mightily without MadBum, can never overcome it. Hopefully become sellers at the deadline and stock up for the future.

There's usually some dark horses that no one really thinks much of at the start of the year who contend for/win ROY, but if Acuna is who they think he is, it's his award to lose.

Royals C Salvador Perez will be out 4-6 weeks after tearing his MCL in a fall while carrying his luggage. Damnit he is on my fantasy team. Luckily I like picking up a backup catcher and I have Wellington Castillo to serve in the interim. But shit.

Mets are thinking about adding Greg Holland per Matt Ehalt on Twitter. That'd be interesting.

Predictions AL east: The Evil Yankee empire AL Central: Indians AL West: Astros Wild Cards: Red Sox and Blue Jays NL East: Nationals NL Central: Cardinalls NL West: The Giants Strike Back NL Wild Cards: Cubs and Mets World Series: Yankees vs Cubs Giants even with MadBum hurt, eh? I like the optimism. Cutch and Longo looked good this spring. Hopefully they help hold the team over (and elevate Posey by actually having weapons around himself) until he gets back, but I'm not holding my breath.
