The preseason starts today. According to Siri the Reds are favored this year to win it all. My Braves are ranked 4th.
The Reds are down a few pitchers and position players. This year Latos is injured whom they always have depended upon. Their best pitcher Cueto has not been the same since he has been injured. I look for him to bhe on the DL most of the year like last year. Homer Bailey was a decent pitcher but he threw a no hitter last year and now wants a big contract, likely to go to a team like the Yankees. They lost the outfielder Choo who they depeneded upon for offense last year, and replaced him with a speedy outfielder than is more like a Drew Stubbs rather than a true lead off batter. Then there is short stop and third base which have been a vacuum for some time now.
Oh, and they brought in a new manager with no track record. Did I mention that Votto is not the same player since he has been injured?
As a fan, I simply can't get exited about this team anymore. They had their shot a few years ago and blew it.
Originally posted by beaurobertsYou should check out the prospects the BoSox have coming up. They might just be a better team this year than last. I grew up in Boston and my first game was the sixth game of the 1967 World Series. Go Sox !
I hope my Red Sox repeat this year. Going to be a tough division to win. With the Yankees getting much better and Baltimore finally spending money and Tampa Bay always being competitive it is possible that 95 wins this season won't even get you into the playoffs...can't wait for opening day.

Originally posted by Trev33I would say they have even less of a chance than the Mets going on strength of division alone HOWEVER that will not keep me from my wishful thinking.
Every year I say the Mets are going to the win the World Series but it doesn't make it so... Blue Jays have about as much chance as the Mets.
Re: The Mets. Noah Syndergaard is the real thing. Still can't believe the Jays traded him AND D'Arnaud away for Dickey 🙁 Harvey, Syndergaard and Wheeler - a solid starting rotation core for years to come.
