you best believe andruw jones will!  i am predicting right now that he will carry the braves to a 15th consecutive title.  he will hit 50 homeruns once again, STEROID FREE, and like always, be the best centerfielder in the game.  he doesn't get enough credit for everything he does so hands down, its his year for mvp.

Come on man Mike Lowell. Word? that can't be a fa real answer. there are only three 3rd baseman worth having in the AL. A-rod, Chavez, and Crede. I was ready to go with Chavez, who plays a mean hot corner. but after reading the page, Notso_25 makes  pretty good arguement for Joe Crede so I'ma have to go with Joe. I mean no one is more clutch than Joe. Sox wouldn't be the best team in baseball right now with out him.

The SF Giants will not only win the division but will win the NL Crown and be in the WS..they have the best pitching staff in the NL hands down...and the best overall starting 8 (if healthy)...and they have great defense up the middle with Durham/Vizquel/Matheny and Winn...Not only that the addition of Finley for a has been in Alfonso was a great move..because he will spell the 3 OF's too keep them fresh and/or he could start and play Alou at 1b on occasion too give Sweeney/Niekro a day off...

1. Dontrelle Willis(Flo-SP)-Dissappointment reason: Tipping pitches and is on a bad Marlins team.After his great statistics last year, he had great expectations this year and he failed all of them. With a 4.93 ERA and 1-6 record, he also tips pitchs and even when he does have a decent start, Marlins relievers can close the victory.\n2. Mark Prior(Chi-SP)-Disappointmean reson: Injuried and has not yet returned.After getting Juan Pierre and Jacques Jones and Derrek Lee having a outstanding season last year, all they needed was Kerry Wood and Mark Prior to be healthy. But they didn't do that and now with D. Lee on the DL and C. Zambrano not having a very good year, they are completely desperate. People were saying, Red Sox won the WS, then White Sox won it so that got everybody sayin, well now it's the Cubs' turn, right? WRONG!!! I bet they won't even make a run at the Wild Card, that's how bad they are.\n3. B. Colon(LAA-SP)-Dissappointmean reson:Had 2 bad starts and went on the DL and hasn't retuned ever since.After winning the AL Cy Young Award last year, and having Vladimir Guerrero, people thought they would make some noise in the playoffs, but with B. Colon out, J. Lacket having a .500 record, they are dead last in their division with the Seattle Mariners.\n4.F. Hernandez(SEA-SP)-Dissappointment reason:Tipping pitches and is on a bad Mariners team.After this guy had a great year last year and gettin Richie Sexson and Adrian Beltre and geting Jarred Washburn this year, they thought that in edition to already having Jamie Moyer and Ichiro Suzuki, they would have a decent team, but no, with King Feliz being terrible and everything else being bad, they are dead last again.\n5. Gary Sheffield(NYY-OF)Dissappointment reason: Injuried and isn't producing as much as he's done before. I just need to say 1 word: INJURIES. Even though he's batting over .300, his other stats are HRs: 4, RBIs: 19 and SBs: 5.\nI don't think that's the Sheffield we know.\n\nPS please pick me the best answer, i worked really hard on this Thank you

Who cares if the Mets RAWK...whatever that is....and the NL blows donkey!\nPedro is a FA660T.\nnuff said.\nYANKEES RULE

There's too much season left to start talking about that.  Need to see how his numbers pan out and how the Mets finish off the season.  At this point he's definitely a contender though.

pujols....he is so consistent it's amazing...i think he has a better eye than a-rod and let's face it pujols does it in the playoffs also, whereas a-rod hasn't shown an ability to do anything in the postseason other than karate chop the ball out of a pitcher's glove...bonds is a terrific hitter but unfortunately it took steroids to get him to that level

I picked up Zimmerman when Pujols went on the DL. He's very consistent and with Soriano ahead of him, he gets plenty of chances at knocking him in.....Over long term course of the season, he's the better choice, imo.

Cardinals great hitting\nWhite Sox they won last year, the cubs might never win\nIndians they are more likely\nMarlins the have Dontrel Willis\nOrioles by defult\nYankees a team that has a better chance then any of the others win it this year. The mets can not win that division.

For the National League it will be on November 20th, and for the American League it will be on Nov. 21st.\n\nAs to who should win, I really don't know, I am not a die hard baseball fan although I gotta say Jeter is in the Running.

He is having a huge year on a first place team, so that bodes well for him. What doesn't look so good is that he plays in the same league with Albert Pujols, so the NL MVP award may be tied up for years to come. It all depends on how The Machine returns from his injury. Keep in mind that Pujols was so far out in front of the league in HRs and RBIs that even though he was gone for nearly a month, he still is 1 or 2 in those depts, and even if it takes him a week or two to get back in shape, he is close enough to the leaders to get back on top. But Wright is having a huge year, and having Delgado and Beltran protecting him is a Godsend.

Greetings from inside the Yahoo Brain in New York City!\nHope you're catching the live webcast at: http://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/asktheplanet/brain.html !\n\nWhile I'd love to say the Yankees will win, unless they pick up Barry Zito soon, it's not going to happen.\n\nGotta love those St. Louis Cardinals.\n\nHope this helps!\n\n--J.

I'm a Mets fan, and being from NY all I hear is that the odds makers pick the Yankees EVERY year. Nothing new there. In the AL the Chisox could do it again. In the NL, who knows? My Mets are bound to improve (they can only go up!), so let's just watch and see. Play Ball!!

loazia is poised for a big year in oakland i am a witesox fan and i think jon got lucky last year dont expect a big year out of him 14 wins at tops his era will be a surprise so i think loazia will be better even though both will be on good teams dont expect to much out of garland like everyone else did he only had 1 good year keep that in mind and now everyone is expecting too much out of him loazia is very consitent exept wen he won 20 games for the sox and won like 13 games for the yankees and even got moved to the bullpen both are overrated

You're giving up Felix? That is a bad, bad move in my opinion. Livan is a good innings-eater, and he'll get some strikeouts, but I still like Felix a lot better. He might be a top-15 pitcher this year if he can get some run support.

He could and arguably should, but will not.  Very rarely do pitchers win MVP.  Unfair I think.  I can think of Pedro with Montreal I believe, and I thought Dennis Eckersly for some reason.  It's like the Heisman, why don't more defensive players win it?

They are both great pitchers, but Johnson is getting old. His age is showing. He seems to have lost command of his slider, which was one of the worst pitches a right handed batter could face during his heyday. Pedro, if he is pampered is an amazing pitcher, maybe the best or one of the best pitchers in baseball. If he is used improperly, then he will wear down and stink up the town. If I had a choice, I would probably take Pedro right now.
