So even thought I've been holding it off for so long I finally found the right time to do it so let's start out with the twisted N.L East. So i'm gonna break this down from the best team to the worst teams.
1.Phillies
This is a really good team with a awesome offense and a pretty good defense.They have probaly the best infield in the league with Howard on 1st,Utley on 2nd, Rollins at short, and either Wes Helms or Gregg Dobbs at 3rd. They also have one of the better prospects in the last 10 years in Cole Hamels who pitched lights out last year with a 15-5 record and a 3.33 and showed everyone that he'll dominate the league for the next 10 years
2. Mets
The reason why I have the Mets at number 2 is of there average to bad pitching even though it's getting better with some of there young prospects like John Maine and one of there recent signings Matt Wise. Also like a said about the Phillies the Mets have a great lineup but this is probably better with the fact that they have a good combination of average with the likes of Luis Castillo, David Wright who's also a great power option,power with Carlos Beltran, and speed with the always great Jose Reyes.
3. Washington Nationals
Yes you might think I'm crazy but this young team will be hungry and looking to beat the living crap out of anyone that comes in there way One thing that i don't like about this is because of there pitching which is very young and it take a year or two for them to get used to major league hitting. The main reason why i put them ahead of the braves is the mix between of there prospects and vets, the young guys which they got this offseason, Lastings Milledge and Elijah Dukes both great great youngsters. They also have great veteran players willing to help the youngsters out and can play some ball. 2 of there vets I like are Paul Lo Duca who joins former teammate in Lastings Milledge,also one of the surprise players of last year in Dmitri Young who had a great .320 BA and also should do the same in 08'.
4. Atlanta Braves
Remember when this team won the East every single season for 15 years straight, all i have to say is where did that team go. First let's start with there pitching ok all i have to tell you is Smoltz is a year older, Tom Glavine is a year older. Two things I like about there pitching is Chuck James and Tim Hudson, Chuck James I love this guy for two things his name is legendary and he's a very good pitcher. TIm Hudson I always kinda liked this guy but as Smoltz and Glavine get up there in age Hudson and James have to learn to step up as the 1 and 2 starting pitchers.
5. Florida Marlins
This could by far be the worst team in the N.L but in 5 and 10 years this team will be scary for what I'm bout to say. Hanley Ramirez this guy is a scary scary player, he has it all power,average,speed,fielding,good eye with less than 100 strikeouts. Remember that trade a few weeks ago when they traded Cabrera and Willis they got 2 of the top 30 prospects in baseball with Cameron Maybin who got 5 stolen bases in only 25 games but this fool needs to get his average up. Also Andrew Miller who did pretty good for himself in the 13 games he started he got a 5-5 record and a 3.63 ERA.
Last but not least my 08' blogging breakdown I'm gonna go by the time I'm gonna do them from January to April and then around march I'll do another one like this
December 22-January 1st A.L preview . After i finish my N.L preview I'm gonna go straight to my A.L preview do screwing around.
January 5th- Feb 3rd NFL playoffs game by game review until the super bowl and maybe pro bowl.
Feb 1st- March 1st my HUGE sorry i had to use caps but it's gonna be a big big fantasy baseball preview with top 50's of each positions with breakdown of each player in each league.
March 1st-March 30th day by day team breakdown with some special guest of Ryan Parker and maybe Dontrelle Willis
