There - I'm out with it. We can revisit this just before the actual season opens, but as of things right now this is my predicted order of finish.

For the record, I got the exact order of finish last year. It's in some thread on this site but I have no idea where.

team (win range)

Baltimore (90-92)

Toronto (86-88)

New York (79-81)

Boston (79-81)

Tampa (75-77)

The division has no really bad teams, and Baltimore's win total will go down, but they still out-compete the other teams. Toronto has injury problems all year, New York overachieves again, Boston can't pitch and Tampa can't hit.

Division MVP: Adam Jones

Division CYA: Marcus Stroman (yup)

Division ROY: Daniel Norris (though the field is weak; expect several September call ups)

    • Tonight not so much.
    • Frustrating moment for Gausman (and his roto owners), he's closing in on 5 shutout innings but 1B Vlad seems to more or less just plain miss the throw from the 3B on a routine groundout two outs, man on 2nd to let run #1 in.  Maikel Garcia bloop, Bobby Witt doubles, and he's losing 3-2.
    • Hanging is too good for him.
    • I trained owned race horses for 25 years.  100s and 100s of them.   From bringing up and breaking yearlings who never raced and then racing them as a 2 and 3 year old.....to older war horses who raced 400 times and you keep them together and racing with everything under the kitchen sink.   One thing that as a race horse trainer was very easy to see, from the get go, was where to classify your horse as a yearling/maiden.  In  other words a horse who had either never raced or who had never won a race as a 2 and 3 year old.  Some horses show a lot of ability at the farm when training, but then when you get them to the actual races then are just too green.  Which means inexperienced.   They have no idea what they or doing or how to race.    I equate JH to this.   He has shown all kinds of ability on the farm....but when he got to the real deal he was completely over matched.  He looks like a HS player. When that happens with a race horse?  We race them at easier race tracks against less talented horses to get their feet wet.   To get their confidence.  I think we all, me included, way over rated JH's ability to perform at the ML level so early.   He needs to go back to the farm, grow up a little because he looks like a little kid, and come back when he has matured.
    • this start? I'm talking about last start. every ball was crushed.
    • Sorry I forgot about the demographics on this board 🤣.  I’ll do better next time.
