Yeah I know i believe thats very possible. Think if Stanton signs someone like the Cardinals, Yankees, Red Sox or is traded there one day. His cards would prob be outrageous then. Glad I dont collect him. He hit 37 Hrs last year and you dont hear no1 really talking about that bc of him playing for the Marlins.

I went with the Angels by default. I think a lot of teams can win it all and the NL is too unpredictable for me to go with anybody from there. The AL has the Angels, Tigers, and whoever comes out of the AL East but I think whoever does will be a disadvantage because they will take a pounding trying to win that division. The Angels should have the division wrapped up pretty early and if they pick up some pitching at the trading deadline will only really have to worry about the Tigers stopping them from reaching the World Series. Once there anybody can win it but I think I'd give them a slight edge.

Cardinals or Orioles maybe?

I agree with the angels

<------------ Voted for the Yankees... Imagine that lol

Just can't bring myself to vote against my Yanks..

But really, I think the Nationals are going to be pretty tough and I also expect the Braves to be strong.

The Yankees have no chance in hell. Making the playoffs will be a miracle at this point. This team is old, battered, and bruised. They have the odds against them right out of the gates. If they don't come out strong, then they will fall behind by early May.

Cubs over the Royals. Yep.

**Royals-R-US** · 02-27-2013, 05:18 PM

I think the Phillies have a shot to win one of the wild cards. With having Roy Halladay, Cole Hamels, and Cliff Lee as starters. Jonathan Paplebon as the Closer, and Mike Adams as setup man. And now having a great 2nd man in the batting lineup. This is what it looks like...
1. Jimmy Rollins SS
2. Ben Revere CF
3. Ryan Howard 1B
4. Chase Utley 2B
5. Carlos Ruiz C
6. Michael Young 3B
7. Delmon Young RF
8. Dominic Brown LF
9. Pitcher

Starting Rotation:
1. Roy Halladay
2. Cole Hamels
3. Cliff Lee
4. Kyle Kendrik
5. John Lannan

Thats if they can stay healthy. Howard, Utley, Halladay have all had there health issues with age. Agree they should compete for a Wild Card if they stay healthy.
