2014 MLB Predictions

[005]

That would be a straight up monster year for Gattis.

 

[TBrown]

lol c'mon Scott

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Hit 21 HRs in 354 PAs last year. I think he gets north of 500 PAs this year fairly easy. His power is ridiculous.

Or he could massively flop. It will be one of the two IMO.

 

[AV_12]

That's more than 93 wins with those numbers haha

Haha you're a fool man

 

[005]

BA jump makes it pretty impressive.

Not sold at all, but he does scare the peepee out of me when he's hitting

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Haha you're a fool man

Ok, maybe narrow it down...

 

[005]

That would be a great bounceback for Beachy, too.

Teheran i'm excited to see.

Of course Gattis and Beachy are a bit bold, but what's the point of a prediction thread if you play the odds amirite

Ok, maybe narrow it down...

Mainly Gattis BA

And CJ HRs and Freddy Garcia ERA haha

 

[005]

no i know. i'm still waiting to do some of my own predictions.

FWIW, if those numbers happen, i don't think ole fred can hold you down.

I do hope that if the Nats or Braves have a great year and get rolling, the other can keep up and make that race as exciting as it could be.

 

[005]

and by that i mean... jesus i hope the nationals win the division by 30 games.

So like the braves did last year?

 

[005]

Except by like 20 more games yes. Similar, certainly.

Gotta take into affect the cool down period.. Like the last three months we coasted

 

[AV_12]

I honestly don't think Floyd is that bad either. Not great, but even Meholm didn't go 4.84... Plus he is coming to a new league and a fair park

 

[005]

And the first however many months we sucked.

Luckily, we improved in the off season.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Mainly Gattis BA

As I alluded, I went bold with Gattis. He will hit or he will miss mightily. CJ's HRs are a tick high. But not like it is over the moon, he hit 15 in 136 games in 2012. Plus, he will get a 600 ABs. And he should see good pitches.

Freddy Garcia is garbage. He was a mirage down the stretch. That damn chariot will turn into a pumpkin, and fast.

Inflation due to struggling with a fresh surgery. He will get battered, then settle.

 

[Toujours Pret]

Braves 93 wins, play in wild card, will lose.

Freeman .303 28 HRs 110 RBIs

Heyward .263 .338 22HRs 67 RBIs

BJ Upton .243 .302 19 HRs 70 RBIs

UGGLA (LOL) .201 .308 18 HRs 54 RBIs

Justin Upton .282 29 HRs 93 RBIs

Andrelton Simmons .247 .306 16 HRs 56 RBIs

Chris Johnson .289 .342 18 HRs 79 RBIs

Evan Gattis .266 .307 31 HRs 91 RBIs



Julio Teheran 3.02 ERA 1.02 Whip

Brandon Beachy 3.31 ERA 1.04 Whip

Michael Minor 3.51 ERA 1.06 Whip

Medlen 3.71 1.09

Freddy Garcia 5.61 ERA WHIP 1.20

Gavin Floyd 4.84 ERA WHIP 1.14

NL MVP Joey Votto

AL MVP Mike Trout

NL CY Young Kershaw

AL CY Young Yu Darvish

Undecided on who plays who in the Fall Classic.

So the entire rotation save Garcia will be +/- top 20 in the majors in WHIP. Right.

Gattis couldn't hit .266 in AA
