I thought it would be fun to get everyone's take on the upcoming MLB season on our boards here. Just predict the division/wild card winners, MVP, Cy Young, AL/NL Pennants, and World Champions. Unofficial* 6,000,000 CP bonus for picking it all correctly.

*Ok I lied... there is no bonus.

Oh, I think they'll be right there in the mix. I'm just giving a little shout out to the improved Tampa club. They might not make it, but I think they're going to surprise some people.

They did a while back when they started out good at the beginning of the season a few years ago. I would like to see them do well, but no way they beat out the Yanks or the Red Sox in their division, let alone the Tigers for the Wild Card.

In all likelihood you're right, but hey, it's still the pre-season in my mind and it's time for dreams!

The more and more I watch ESPN the more I keep hearing everyone (almost) pick them to win.

Tigers to win 130, rest of the AL Central to lose at least 90 in the most lop-sided divisional race ever.
