Sports - 2013 MLB Predictions

With free agency pretty much over, spring training starting this weekend, and no one having any real idea how any of the clubs will actually perform, I think it's time to make some picks.  So here they are, my 2013 MLB Way Too Early Predictions:

AL East 

1. Yankees - This team is stacked. Added Youk & Hafner. Lost Swisher.
2. Blue Jays - On the up. Added Dickey, Reyes, Melky & Josh Johnson.
3. Red Sox - Too talented to fail again. Added Victorino, Napoli & Hanrahan.
4. Rays - Searching for a new identity. Added Loney. Lost B.J. Upton.
5. Orioles - Not enough power to sustain. Lost Reynolds.

AL Central

1. Tigers - Should be great. Adden Tori Hunter. V-Mart back from injury.
2. Indians - Francona! Added Bourn, Stubby, Swisher & Reynolds. Lost Choo.
3. White Sox - Hitters are a little too old. Lost Pierzynski.
4. Royals - Nice pitching staff. Added Shields & Santana.
5. Twins - Why isn't this team better? Bad rotation and no closer.

AL West

1. Rangers - Excellent at every position. Added Berkman & Pierzynski. Lost Hamilton.
2. Angels - Could win a lot of games. Added Madson, Hamilton & Hanson.
3. Athletics - Won't repeat last year. Added Jaso.
4. Mariners - Stuck in mediocrity. Added Morse & Morales.
5. Astros - Should be just plain awful. Added Carlos Pena.

NL East

1. Nationals - Very solid lineup. Added Span, Soriano & Haren. Lost Morse.
2. Phillies - Best pitching staff in the league. Added Young. Lost Victorino.
3. Braves - Talented, but inconsistent. Added the Upton Bros. Lost Chipper.

5. Marlins - Very, very bad. Added Polanco. Lost Reyes & Josh Johnson.

NL Central

1. Reds - Great rotation, nice lineup. Added Choo. Lost Stubby.
2. Cardinals - Pitching is a question. Carpenter out with an injury.
3. Brewers - Solid, but stagnant. Called up Segura.
4. Pirates - Just not enough talent. Added Martin. Lost Hanrahan.
5. Cubs - Cursed, I guess. Added Edwin Jackson, Baker & Feldman.

NL West

1. Dodgers - Great team, all around. Added Greinke &Crawford. Lost Loney.
2. Giants - Solid returning team. Lost Melky.
3. Rockies - This team has potential, and they can only go up.
4. Diamondbacks - Good, but not special. Added Prado. Lost Justin Upton.

Most improved teams: Blue Jays, Indians, Rockies.
