Bonds will get the record- and that's all ESPN will talk about for the entire season.

I just saw this. Is this a homer pick or do you really think a guy that has never really gotten much above 15 wins pitching at Great American has a chance?

some of both. he got 16 wins last year (tied for the most in the NL) and he led the NL Strikeouts last year and he recieved zero votes for the cy young. he very quietly had one of the best seasons in the majors. if he has a repeat performance this year of last year he has to get a serious look for it.

My only prediction is that my Royals will once again end the season in the basement.

are you a reds fan or is that really your prediction?

i hate the reds... but i think they're pitching is pretty good. of all the divisions, the nl central is obviously the most wide open. cards dont' have the pitching to repeat, astros don't have enough of anything really, cubs are the cubs.. pirates need a few more years, your brewer prediction might turn out true.. i just can't put my stock in them yet.

At heart, I'm an A's fan. i just don't think we have the offense to compete w/ vlad and co. this year.

the reds have 2 good dependable starters, one guy that looks like he could be a good dependable starter, one guy that is doing all right but gives up the long ball (Not good for a pitcher at the GABP) and Eric Milton (no description needed). also the bullpen blows. In all honesty i think the NL central is going to blow this year.

you're right on all accounts vkb. I should have stated i like their pitching combo the best out of a very weak NL Central. You go .500 you might win the division this year. I noticed you picked Harang as the NL Cy Young. As an A's fan, I'm a huge Harang fan. I think Arroyo was a good pickup, and I've seen flashes from Saarloos. I'll grant you Eric Milton, but again, look at their competition. Lohse being the only lefty in the starting rotation (that i know of) could cause some problems as well.

Belisle is the guy I was talking about who looks like he could be a dependable starter. He has always had good stuff it just seems that he could never put it together. He has put it together in his two starts this year and was very impressive. Saarloos has been alright so far this year. If i had to pick to guys in the BP right now it would probably be him and Santos.

I haven't followed the Reds too closely since the start of the season and I was under the impression Saarloos was going to be a starter while Belisle would be a reliever. I was wrong. Belisle has good stuff, I just don't think he's consistent enough to do it year round or most importantly go deep into ballgames. But I think Saarloos and Bray can help out the reds bp, so it might work. Any idea when Bray gets back?

as little thought he probably put into that he will probably be right about his prediction.

Predicting the Cards to win a sorry division like the central does not take much thought. The Cubs are the cubs, look good on paper but you know they'll choke. The Reds have 2 good pitchers and then Belisle and Milton. Homer Bailey better be all he's cracked up to be.The Brewers have Sheets and noboby else. The Pirates aren't worth talking about

I know a little about baseball.

the brewers are the best all around team in the central
