ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

This was a team many wrote off, but when they trounced the Tigers 4-1, people started to realize how talented they were.

Going into the 2007 season, the Cardinals have won 10 World Series titles. Led by WS MVP David Eckstein and ace Albert Pujols, the Cardinals will try to do something no NL team has done in a long time, win back-to-back World Series titles. Of course if they're gonna win another title, they have to get past their biggest rival in the Chicago Cubs who they've been playing a lot against for 121 years, along with the Houston Astros who will probably be in the hunt too.

2006 RECORD:83-78 (BUT, they won the NL Central, NL Champions, World Series Champions)

2007 ROSTER GRADE:B - I'm giving them a B for the simple fact that they struggled down the stretch and I'm expecting a lot from this team. They have a solid roster, but if they just work on their pitching, they will go deep.
PREDICTION:95-67 (NL Central champions) - They will win the NL Central again, but will be eliminated in the NL Championship
FANTASY PICK:Albert Pujols will probably lead the team in HRs with 45, let's hope he doesn't whine about not winning the NL MVP.
-----------------------------------------------
DETROIT TIGERS
Case:2006 World Series Runner-Up

Of course with a World Series winner, there's always a loser. The Tigers will try to rebound after getting slammed in the World Series 4-1.

Going into the 2007 season, the Detroit Tigers have won 4 World Series titles and their career record is 8324-8106. They were futility several years ago but after an amazing start, people started to realize that the Tigers were no longer a flaky team. The 2005 WS Champions in Chicago White Sox, the AL Central champs in Minnesota Twins and everybody's fan favorite Cleveland Indians will provide a challenge though.

2006 RECORD:95-67 (AL Wildcard, AL Champions, World Series runner-up)

2007 ROSTER GRADE:A- - They will take the next step led by Jim Leyland and their solid staff. All they really gotta do is not think last year was a fluke.
PREDICTION:92-70 - With the Red Sox acquiring Daisuke Matzusaka and the Yankees reacquiring Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens still not sure of his future, don't be surprised if the Tigers miss the playoffs. I think they will win the AL Central, but will be gone first round probably.
FANTASY PICK:Kenny Rogers - He is still being questioned for that supposed substance on his picthing arm during Game 2 of the World Series. I look for him to win at least 15-18 games this year and have an ERA of around 3.20.

Thoughts? Tomorrow I will do the Oakland A's and New York Mets.

HUH? That's not my number

This team's 45 year history includes 7 appearances in the postseason and of course the aforementioned 2 World Series titles. Like the Tigers, the Mets have to prove that they weren't a fluke, especially with the so-called evil empire in the Yankees as their Interleague rivals. How will they fare in 2007, especially with all that's going on, and with the Marlins, Phillies, Braves and Nationals all in the hunt?

2006 RECORD:97-65 (AL East Champions, lost to St. Louis Cardinals in NL Championship)

2007 ROSTER GRADE:B- - I don't like the sound of what they have to offer. They don't have a very memorable face on their team IMO. I will say this, they are pretty solid but will have to step it up.
PREDICTION:82-80 - I think they'll regress and barely miss the playoffs. The Marlins and Braves are getting stronger and the Phillies will make a run this year.
FANTASY PLAYER:Carlos Beltran - He's always a consistent player since he joined the Houston Astros. I see him hitting 30 HRs and maybe get a decent amount of hits.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OAKLAND ATHLETICS
CASE:2006 AL Runner-Up

Nobody really expected this team to win but they'll need a new plan with a new manager. The only safehaven is that they only have 3 teams to deal with in their division, but unfortunately they're all strong now.

Going into the 2007 Season, the Athletics have won a whopping 9 World Series titles, 15 AL Pennants and 14 AL West titles. This roster doesn't have a too familiar face but maybe the most famous face on the team is one of their catchers. They have to do battle with the flaky Mariners, the dangerous Rangers and the questioned Angels.

2006 RECORD:93-69 (AL West champions, AL runner-up)

2007 ROSTER GRADE:C - I think with a new manager and all, they will hit a bump in the road. No reason.
PREDICTION:76-86 - 3rd in AL West (Piazza will probably retire within the next year or two, depending on his health)
FANTASY PLAYER:Mike Piazza - He's probably the most famous catcher around. I project him to get like 20 HRS and not drop any balls.

Thoughts? Do you agree with my analysis? Tomorrow it's all about the Padres and Twins

WHERE IS TINA. METS WON THE AL EAST AND faced the Cards in the NLCS.

Mets will not be close to 82 - 80.

MIKE GET YOUR FUKCING FACTS STRAIGHT.

this person is on drugs. AL EAST WINNERS & PLAYED IN THE NLCS

SAN DIEGO PADRES
Case:2006 NL West Champions

This team really sucks. They've never won a World Series and have only won 5 division titles in their roughly-40 year franchise history. They might have a secret weapon in their roster though.

Mostly an all U.S. roster, they do have a power closer in Trevor Hoffman. They have lost 500 more games than wins in their franchise history. The future is bright and their division isn't too dangerous. You gotta watch out for Bonds, Zito and the Giants, Johnson and the Diamondbacks and the Dodgers who want redemption. Forget the Rockies.

2006 RECORD:88-74 (NL West Champions, lost to St. Louis in Divisional)

2007 ROSTER GRADE:B+ - I'm kinda flaky on this team. Since their World Series appearance, they haven't won more than 90 games in a season in the last 8 years
PREDICTION:81-81 (NL West runner-up) - I'm really not sure. I think 5th place is gonna have 65-70 wins this year.
FANTASY PLAYER:Non-Pitchers - They've got Hoffman and Maddux on the roster so their pitching staff is solid. It all depends on how their batters do. Then and only then will they either make the playoffs, or flame out entirely.
------------------------------------------------------------------
MINNESOTA TWINS
Case:2006 AL Central Champions (but how?!)

With 3 World Series titles in their storied history, you always expect them to be in the hunt. This may be one of the most dangerous, yet unnoticed teams in the 2006 season as they limped into the AL Central title.

Their manager is from Germany? Something you learn.....anyway, this team may be in the toughest division this year. The Tigers looking to repeat as AL champions, the White Sox looking for redemption, the Indians who is everyone's pick, and the upstart Royals who might be on the rise. With Liriano out for the 2007 season (i think), they may struggle.

2006 RECORD:96-66 (AL Central champions, lost to Oakland in AL Divisional)

2007 ROSTER GRADE:C- - With all due respect to the team, they lost a powerful pitcher for the year. I'm not sure if Torii Hunter and Johan Santana can carry this team to the AL Central again.
PREDICTION:75-87 - I'm predicting a 21-win dropoff. This division is gonna be so competitive and they'll probably finish just ahead of the Royals.
FANTASY PLAYER:Johan Santana - Hello? It's Johan Santana! He's the superstar of the Twins. Need I say more?

Tomorrow, it's the Yankees and Dodgers.
