Jim Thome is a nice bet.  He will have MUCH better stats than last years.\n\nVernon Wells is the other.  With Glaus and Overbay hitting behind him, he would continue to do well.\n\nBrad Penny would have a breakout season too.  He always has good stuffs, and NL west is weak.

My pick: Edwin Encarnacion\n\nEdwin has the huge benefit of hitting in the "Great American Ballpark" which should help boost his HR, and essentially RBI numbers. Edwin also has a more potent lineup to hit with.\n\nHowever, Conor will probably put up the higher avg. in the end though.

bret boone giambi read juiced and you'll find out about plenty more.  I think adrian beltre's big year was aided by them, as well as miguel tejada's freakish weight and muscle gain.  not pujols, and i stand by that.

Peavy - He'll get hot & start to win along w/ striking out a ton of guys.  Dumping Peavy would be one of the dumbest moves in your league to date (I'd bank on that).\n\nLackey - He'll pitch well & strike out a few, however that team stinks offensively.  Don't bank on a ton of wins from him.\n\nMarquis - This stinkin' guy will win a few games but DESTROY the rest of your stats.  There's something about Marquis this year and a 10ft pole.......

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.

Pujols without a doubt.  Thome is know to go into some major slumps.  Right now Pujols could be on his way to being one of the greatest PLAYERS ever.  His numbers are staggering for such a short career so far.  He is as intimadating as hell.  I saw him golf swing a pitch last week that still hasn't landed yet.  The pitch was at his ankles and he made it look effortless.  If he stays healthy on this pace, he has a chance someday to break almost every offensive category (HR/Season, HR/Career, RBI, Average).

It's Sanchez by default since Clemens isn't playing right now.  Come May first when he's allowed to sign with a team, should he choose to, then we'll see.  But for now it's Sanchez.

Hopefully Clemens will have a positive affect on the Astros, including Pettitte who has stunk it up this season.\n\nBut it looks like their offense is hiding again when he pitches, like last night.

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

liriano of the twins. he will come out of the bullpen and be a starter very soon. also, young of san diego, kazmir of tampa, chacin of toronto, and blanton of oakland.

The SF Giants will win the NL West why you say well let me explain, we now have a player back what was his name o yeah the greatest player in MLB history Barry Bonds with some back up like Moises Alou, Randy Winn, Mike Matheny, and an addition Steve Finley but we also have pitching Jason Schm-idt he'll be better because last year he had injury problems, Matt Morris from the Cardinals what more can be said, Noah Lowry a future all-star, Matt Cain another future all-star but also some solid bullpen action Tim Worrell former Giant great and a closer who will have a better year then last he was also injured Armando Benitez.

Carlos Beltran!!!!!!!!!!

Being a Mariners fan, I am optimistic about them getting Barry Zito, but I don't see that happening. I think a more resonable target will be Jason Schmidt. He will give the Mariners a strong ace to anchor the rotation and a veteran to mentor King Felix now that Jamie is gone. Also, they should try to make a move to resign Gil Meche. He is, in my opinion, ready for a breakout year.

I think that he will. It may not be this year, but next year for sure. That is if they pitch to him and not walk him all the time.

Alex Rios (Tor - OF)\nCasey Blake (Cle - 3B, OF)\nJoe Crede (CWS - 3B)\nCraig Wilson (Pit - 1B, OF)\n\n\nThose guys are doing pretty well this season, especially Rios and Blake. If either of those are available then pick them up and expect them to take a permament spot in your roster, as for Crede and Wilson they've cooled off after a pretty decent start. Don't expect them to stay on your team very long.
