1. DeLauter and Manzardo hit 35HR combined for the big league club despite service time constraints.

2. Angel Martinez starts in CF by June 15th.

3. Nolan Jones and Will Benson regress a ton in their sophomore campaign’s and we’ll hear a lot less about them this season.

 

[sportscoach]

Guys, I do actually pay out the Gift Cards! I wanna see a lot of people participate

 

[eChameleon]

I won't participate, because stats really aren't my thing, but I will offer bold predictions, because I like doing that before every season of The Price Is Right as well.

1.) Green will be part of the City Connect uniforms.
2.) Kwan will hit a grand slam inside the park HR in Cleveland.
3.) We will win the division by 6 games.

My whole stat projection was ruined when Straw was cut.

I’ll join in!

The cliche 'living rent free in their heads' applies when you feel the need to reference players no longer on the team in a Team Prediction thread.
