KellyLeak Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Your bottom section has some good stuff. I disagree on Gallo. I think he'll struggle. Hamels goes 18-4. Holland is going to be hurt. I hope Moreland gets dealt somewhere and I agree we will see some bright spots with Yu, but I wouldn't be surprised with a set back at some point. I think Delino ends up in AAA before summer is over. Hamilton for MVP!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ettu Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Unless Gallo learned to hit a curveball miraculously over the winter, I wouldn't expect a rookie of the year award for him. I expect him to start the year in Round Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 No way I see Holland with double digit wins. Injuries and inconsistent play has me very hesitant. Perez I have a little more faith in. Gallo's production I think ties directly to Hamilton's health. Hambone said this last week that knee was sore. The OF has question marks. Was the end of the season Choo here to stay? DeShields is your defacto CF, as much by lack of competition as having a lock on the job. Left field can be serviceable or a black hole. Moreland should be trade bait. Lefty heavy lineup. Log jam at 1B and DH. I'd see what kind of OF help he could bring. If Darvish gets to 10 it'll be a late season run at it.

I think Mazara gets the chance in LF this year before Gallo does. Mazara doesn't have the huge holes in his swing that Gallo does, plus more speed and a natural outfielder Also, if Delino suffers any lengthy slump, look for them to call up Brinson to take that spot, unless James Jones absolutely wows everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniballer Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 AMERICAN LEAGUE: East - Baltimore Orioles Central - Kansas City Royals West - Texas Rangers Wild Cards - Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox Wild Card - Boston def. Houston ALDS - Kansas City def. Boston, Texas def. Baltimore ALCS - Texas def. Kansas City NATIONAL LEAGUE: East - New York Mets Central - Chicago Cubs West - San Francisco Giants Wild Cards - Los Angeles Dodgers, Washington Nationals Wild Card - Los Angeles def. Washington NLDS - Chicago def. Los Angeles, San Francisco def. New York NLCS - San Francisco def. Chicago WORLD SERIES - Texas def. San Francisco Call me a homer, that is fine. Texas has all of the pieces and just needs the starters to stay healthy. Five flamethrowers in the bullpen will help out. Diekman and Dyson are key guys Daniels did not get enough credit for bringing in last July. A healthy rotation of Hamels, Holland, Darvish, Perez and Lewis can be dangerous.

Stoney Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 There's just enough questions with the starting rotation I couldn't have them wining the West. Hoping I'm wrong. Hamels is a ace. No doubts. Darvish. May/ June return hopefully. How long till the rust is off? Colby. Back to back 17 win seasons? No. Do the bionic shoulder and hip hold up again? Perez. Another year removed from Tommy John. Do you get the young pitcher back who was starting to get it? Holland. Another year away from injury. Is the velocity back? Can he be 2011, 2013 version again? Is a average 3,4 his limit now? Chi Chi. Former first rounder. Does he earn Yu's spot till he's back? Will a veteran Spring Training invitee beat him out? A.J. Griffin, Jeremy Guthrie, Nick Tepesch. Spring Training Invitees. Do they find a way into the rotation? Anything from them would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topher805 Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Defense and pitching will sink the Angels. Trout is a superstar, but everyone else is another year older and not in a good way... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THSfanatic Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 If Astros can stay around .500 against Rangers I think they take this division. But I've got to see it first. Rangers took us down almost single-handedly last year. They seem to have our number so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
