·Assuming that baseball dosen't contract, these are how I think 2002 will unfold.
AL East
1. Yankees: Another Year, Another pennant.
2. Red Sox: With Pedro? Sure. Without Pedro? well...
3. Blue Jays: Best (and quite possibly only) team in Canada.
4. Orioles: Cal and brady are gone. So are the team's chances for immedeate success (which probably wouldn't have existed WITH Cal)
5. Devil Rays: You mean to tell me that these guys were not on the possible contraction candadate list?
AL Central
1. Indians: Cheif Wahoo MUST be smilling after all these pennants. Now for that ring...
2. Twins: All depends on weather or not the team will exist in 2002.
3. White Sox: Did Frank Thomas retire yet?
4. Royals: Love their ballpark. that's about all i have to say here.
5. Tigers: (See Royals note)
AL West
1. Mariners: Ichiro. 'Nuff said.
2. Rangers: Lucky they didn't go bankrupt after getting ARod
3. Athetics: These guys need Jason Giambi to compete.
4. Angels: (See Tigers note)
AL Wild Card: Red Sox*
NL East
1. Mets: This will be tight from April to September. Anyone could win.
2. Braves: (See Mets note)
3. Phillies: (See Braves note)
4. Marlins: Will we even see the fishes in 2002?
5. Expos: No comment
NL Central
1. Cardinals: Mac's gone, but Pujols fills that gap.
2. Astros: Still trying to figure out how to get to round two.
3. Cubs: Sosa's 4th 60 home run season. Mark it down.
4. Brewers: They could make a run for it. Just hope they don't strikeout trying (pun intended).
5. Pirates: (See Angels Note)
6. Reds: I think this will be their last year at Cinergy (new ballpark (in CINCINNATI))
NL West
1.Diamondbacks: Johnson+Schilling=hitter's worst nightmare
2. Dodgers: Was last year's run just a fluke?
3. Giants: If Bonds comes back, these guys will in second place.
4. Rockies: (See Pirates note)
5. Padres: It's going to be a long year in San Diego.
NL Wild card: Astros
World Series winner: Yankees (again)
These predictions all depend on weather or not baseball contracts. If baseball contracts, players like Vladimir Gurerro will be on another team, affecting the race in that division.
I know some of you might disagree with my standings. Fell free to express your views of 2002.
