Surprising amount of love for the Brew Crew.

Fuck the Seligs.

 

The NL Central will suck.

 

Kerry Wood won't win 20 games and Craig Biggio will get 3,000 hits and add to his total of times hit by pitches.

Astros win a weak NL Central. That's the only division I really care about.

Mark Antanasio on Line 1 for you.

They seem to be a fashionable pick this year -- maybe with good reason. I like their lineup quite a bit (Bill Hall is a player) but I'm not sold on the rotation after Sheets and Capuano and I don't like the bullpen. That said, Maddux has a lot of respect around the league as a pitching coach, so maybe he can make a difference.
