I see them improving from last season but they will not make the postseason.

They should improve, but it's going to be tough in the AL Central with both the White Sox and Indians most likely battling for the top spot in the league and the Twins possibly making some noise as well.\n\nUnfortunately, that would leave the Royals and the Tigers fighting for the cellar in the division once again.

I would say it's highly unlikely, for the same reason Toronto (despite all their offseason moves) will have trouble reaching the post-season. When you play 38 games a year against two tough divisional foes (St Louis and Houston), it's an uphill battle. Plus, they haven't really added any talent to rotation other than Howry, a career .500 pitcher.

Hopefully, yes!\nRealistically, no!\nBut I think they will give them a better run for their money than the other teams have done during this Autumn series!

I don't realy think so because they totally suck... And their a new team so give them about 3more years to shape up...

They'll probably get a tougher schedule this year (not that it wouldnt' be tough enough) but I'd say they'll push a 20 win season this year.  Depends on Dials I guess.

I think they have improved their hitting and leadoff spot which has been hurting them for years now. I wish they'd either get rid of Kerry Wood or move him to the bullpen. But I think they'll have a solid bullpen this year which was killing them last year. Oh, and watch for them to manufacture runs with Pierre and Hairston batting 1 and 2. I don't think they'll rely so heavily on the homerun ball this year. Don't give up on this season even if they start slow. We want them to peak at the end of the season. Yes, I bleed blue. White Suks!!!! Go Cubs!!!!

it's too early in the season to judge their performances. they are still searching for their rhythmn. if they find their groove, they'll be ok...\n\none thing is for sure though, you can't count these teams out cuz they have the ability to turn things around. they just have too much pride and character...

They will win one season, just not this upcoming season or any season soon.

maybe if they don't win there division they are still in the wild card

I wouldn't get too excited.  They're going to lose at least 4 of their remaining games.  They'll be knocked out in the wildcard round.

nope.  They aren't even one of the two best teams in their division (much less baseball), so eventually they will fade.  Their pitching is sucpect big-time.

Probably to the Division Series at the most . . . with a record of 17-14-4 they're 7 points behind the first place Canucks and 5 behind Calgary and Edmonton. I know its not even midway through the season, but the way they're playing now, they can do better, but they're in a slump now.

they won't be any better this year....there is no one strong enough on the team to direct them.

I believe they have a very good chance. They were dominating the first part of the season with some excellent pitching and offense and defense. And don't worry, everybody has a slump, they bounce right back and get into the flow of things. So, yes, I believe they will make it int othe playoffs.

No. I think they will get close. but I dont think they will make it. they will come up short.

I am...have been all my life.  They are playing really bad right now without Pujols.  It's kind of scary actually.  You don't know what you got until it's gone.  I don't know what happened.  They got people that can hit and were hitting with Pujols in the lineup, but now that he is out they can't hit anything...and the pitching isn't going to well either.  I still think they can reach the pennant but at this point, I don't think they can without a healthy AP.

I am afraid they will struggle around .500 this season, falling between 3rd and 4th place unless some major roster moves are done before Feb. They are very weak at 3rd base and with their pitchers, especially starters.  No one is a true Ace, and they could very easily have two rookies in the rotation on opening day.  Meanwhile the Mets have spent like crazy and the Braves are the Braves.
