So, here are a few tidbits, and thoughts on the season that is underway:
1) Mets - at best, can hope for a .500 season.
1a) I'm not sold on Mike Pelfrey. He'll be ok, but FAR from an ace. he would be a #4/#5 on a good rotation (3 would be a reach imo)....on the Mets, he's the ace. go figure.
1b) I'd be surprised if Beltran and Reyes are still Mets by the end of the season. If they have a chance to get prospects, they'll jump on it. unfortunately. Reyes - man. my first jersey ever... and he's going to be on a different team :(
1c) Krod also gets traded. no way he stays a met and finishes 55 games.
2) Because the Mets aren't going to be great, how about the O's, since they're my home team now.
2a) O's will be lucky to break 75 games. Everything has to finally start going right for them to get to 500 because of the division.
2b) that means Weiters needs to start hitting, Jones needs to start hitting. Markakis needs to return to his pre contract numbers. Matusz, Arrieta, Tillman, & Burgesen need to be AWESOME.
2c) Lee, Vlad, & Hardy need to be at their best, fighting for a big payday in the offseason.
2d) Brob needs to stop getting hurt....
2 in closing: that's a lot of ifs...
3) I'm rooting for the Pirates, Cubs, and Indians to do well.
4) i'm worried about my fantasy team.
