My fearless prediction

[jamalshw]

Here are my predictions: 

1. Gausman finishes top-5 in AL Cy Young Voting

2. Castillo ends the season with a higher OPS+ than Wieters

3. DD makes a mid-season trade that costs us Sedlock

Fearless predictions...

 

Ubaldo has a sub-4 ERA, Jones has a .350 OBP, and we have another HR league leader in Machado at 48.

I'll believe Ubaldo's sub 4 ERA before AJ's .350 OBP.

I hope the OP is correct. I drafted AJ on my fantasy team. I normally have restraint with homer picks, but I had the feeling he could out perform those rankings.

He's looked great since ST started. Hit 2 HRs for us before he left for the WBC.

Miley won't make it through June in the rotation.  I wouldn't be surprised if he's DFA'ed.

Mancini will be an every day starter by June.  That single up the middle was a thing of beauty.  I wish Davis could take what he's given instead of always swinging for the fence.

I agree with 1 & 2.  Please no! to #3.

My bold prediction last year was 15 wins from Wright, Bridwell and Wilson....so with that.

Pitching.  The pitcher who finishes the season with the second most wins on the team is not currently on the roster. (Not Tillman)

Hitting:  Kim would be in the batting title conversation...if only he gets enough ABs.

Adam Jones will have his best season, and be a top 5 MVP candidate.    

If he can keep taking walks (7.5% BB rate currently vs 4.5% for career) and avoid chasing some of those pitches out of the zone, he very well may.

I meant Ubaldo!    I'm glad I'm wrong on Miley so far.

After 18 games (exactly 1/9 of the season), Adam is sporting a .900 OPS and has been worth 1 rWAR, 0.8 fWAR so far.    So far, so good!

Jones looks really good at the plate. Then again, he's had hot starts before where he takes some walks and then reverts right back to swinging at everything later in year.

Yes, and I'm sure he will have stretches where he looks clueless this year, as well.    But I'm glad to see him off to a good start.
