Senior Circuit Scenario

N.L. East
1. Mets
- the streak finally comes to an end for the Braves....the Mets went out and got some key parts to go along with Pedro and Beltran the year before....I love David Wright at third base...he is a future MVP.....
2. Braves - Bobby Cox will not go down without a fight....the Braves are the Braves and will end up in the playoffs as a wildcard....
3. Phillies - Jimmy Rollins is the best shortstop no one has heard of.....Ryan Howard is a STUD at first base.....but remember, Charlie Manuel is the manager – so that is worth at least 5 loses right there....
4. Nationals - look for the Nats to move Alfonso Soriano during the year in order to add more pieces to the puzzle....Ryan Zimmerman is supposed to be a good one at third base....
5. Marlins - I ain’t even wasting my time on this team.....


N.L. Central
1. Cardinals
- a new stadium, but the same result – a Central Division title...
2. Brewers - this is my surprise team of the year....I love their young talent in Rickie Weeks, J.J. Hardy, and Prince Fielder....this team will win the division in 2007....
3. Astros - Houston made their run the last two years.....Roy Oswalt will nail down a Cy Young this year....
4. Pirates - I would love to see the Pirates have a winning season....I give them credit, they spent a few dollars to show the fans they are at least trying....Jason Bay is a stud....
5. Cubs - with Prior and Wood injured again, this team has no hope....when will the Chicago brass get tired of the injury bug with these two and trade one of them?....besides Lee and Ramirez, who else is in the lineup?....
6. Reds - this once proud franchise deserves better.....Junior was solid during the WBC....they do have nice uniforms....


N.L. West
1. Dodgers - why not?.....who else is going to stop them, the Padres???....this may be Nomar’s last shot at resurrecting his career....
2. Padres - last year’s divisional champs post the same record – just barely above .500
3. Giants - yeh Bonds is back.....but it takes more than just Barry to win....
4. Diamondbacks - this team has some young talent coming up....they will dominate the division in two years....

5. Rockies - this team needs to move elsewhere....better yet -- one word -- contraction...

Divisional Playoffs
Cardinals over Braves
Mets over Dodgers

NLCS
Cardinals over Mets

World Series
