    1. Colorado Rockies

    2. Aaron Cook, Ubaldo Jimenez, Franklin Morales, Jason Marquis, and Jorge DeLaRosa

    3. CF Ryan Spilborghs

    LF Seth Smith

    1B Todd Helton

    3B Garrett Atkins

    RF Brad Hawpe

    SS Troy Tulowitzki

    C Chris Ianetta

    2B Clint Barmes

    4. Ubaldo Jimenez

    5. Garrett Atkins

    6. I have a lot of faith in Clint Hurdle, but I hope they get off to a good start so he doesn't get fired

    7. 1. Brad Hawpe, Garrett Atkins, and Troy Tulowitzki having 100+ RBI

    2. A strong Jimenez, Morales, Huston Street, Manny Corpas, Cook

    3. No injuries!

    8. Hitter- Troy Tulowitzki

    Pitcher- Franklin Morales

    9. 87-75

    10. I have high hopes for the Rockies this year. Their is so much young talent with Ian Stewart, Seth Smith, and especially Dexter Fowler who I'm very excited to watch (look out for ROY). Todd Helton is back and there's power with Atkins, Ianetta, Spilborghs, and Hawpe. This rotation is the most depth I think the Rockies have ever had. This could turn out to be a very interesting year... :)

    Chicago White Sox

    2. State the 5 man Rotation

    Buehrle, Floyd, Danks, Contreras, Colon

    3. If you already know and is Stated, State Lineup

    Probably something like this-

    Wise/Anderson, Getz, Quentin, Thome, Konerko, Dye, Pierzynski, Fields.

    4. Which Pitcher is most important to have a successful season

    Contreras and Colon need to bounce back from injuries

    5. Which hitter is the Most important to have a successful season

    Our young players- Wise/Anderson and Getz

    6.How much Faith do you have in your Manager for this season

    I have faith in Guillen, he knows what he is doing.

    7. 3 main Keys for your team to have success

    No injuries

    More men/speed on base

    Solid defense

    8.Which hitter and Pitcher will have a bounce back year

    Konerko will do better and Colon will as well. Or at least I hope so!

    9. Predict the Record for the 09 season

    I don't like this part! Ummm, I will say 90 wins.

    10. How much faith do you have this might be a special season, o something good will happen.

    Something good will always happen, whether it be for the whole team, or an individual player.

    Here is my prediction- Either Gavin Floyd or John Danks will pitch a no-hitter.

    BQ- Cubs or Yankees- Who wins today's game:] Yankees.

    That was fun! I can't wait for baseball to begin!!!

    1. State the name of your Favorite Team Angels

    2. State the 5 man Rotation

    1. LHP Joe Saunders

    2. RHP Dustin Moseley

    3. RHP Shane Loux

    4. RHP Jered Weaver

    5. RHP Nick Adenhart

    3. If you already know and is Stated, State Lineup

    1. 3B Chone Figgins

    2. 2B Howie Kendrick

    3. LF Bobby Abreu

    4. RF Vladimir Guerrero

    5. CF Torii Hunter

    6. 1B Kendry Morales

    7. DH Juan Rivera

    8. C Jeff Mathis/Mike Napoli

    9. SS Erick Aybar/Maicer Izturis

    4. Which Pitcher is most important to have a successful season?

    Pitching for once is the problem..i don't ever remember the angels having a pitching problem while i was a fan so its probably gonna be a bit new for me. I'm sure everyone is going to do well. I would think Ervin and Joe would have to emulate their successes from last year but you can't expect perfection out of anyone. The rotation is going to start off slow i mean there's three guys (two of em are rookies while the other one comes up only when we need him the most which is so weiird O.o? lol) but i have faith in them ^^ I'm sure the rotation shall be stronger when Ervin and John and Escobar come back

    5. Which hitter is the Most important to have a successful season Kendry Morales, he has some big shoes to fill

    6.How much Faith do you have in your Manager for this season? He's the one and only Mike Scioscia how can i not have faith in him.. he may be stubborn at times and a little bit frustrating but heck he's one of the best out there i can't complain

    7. 3 main Keys for your team to have success

    guys need to stay healthy

    offense needs to step up (esp. Vladdy and Figgy)

    lastly, Fuentes also has some shoes to fill.. Angels had Frankie for the past 6 years and Percival before that.. never really worried THAT much about the closer position for awhile so i'm hoping he does a good job

    8.Which hitter and Pitcher will have a bounce back year? I say Vladdy will do better this year and i think for pitching.. hmm Jered Weaver will have a better year i'm hoping :D

    9. Predict the Record for the 09 season 89-73?? i dunno ^^

    10. How much faith do you have this might be a special season, or something good will happen? mmmm Some faith.. i'm a positive person anything can happen but from what it looks like on paper there's gonna be a slooooow start

    3. Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, JJ Hardy, Corey Hart, Mike Cameron, Rickie Weeks, Jason Kendall, Bill Hall

    4. Yovani Gallardo - the Brewers have a lot of hopes hanging on the Young (23 yr old) Gallardo

    5. Ryan Braun

    6. I have Faith that our new manager is doing what is needed

    7. We need our pitchers to step up and step up big (starting line-up

    Hitters have to step up to perhaps compensate for pitching

    NO injuries

    8. Prince Fielder will show signs from his 50 home run year in 2007 and hit at least 40

    Hope hope hope Jeff Suppan will bring some fire back from 3 years ago

    1. My favorite team is the Boston Red Sox

    2. Their rotation, in order I believe, is the following:

    Beckett

    Matsuzaka

    Lester

    Wakefield

    Penny

    3. The lineup:

    Ellsbury

    Pedroia

    Ortiz

    Youkilis

    Bay

    Lowell

    Drew

    Varitek

    Lowrie

    4. Pitcher importance

    Pretty much everyone. Beckett needs to stay healthy, and Lester needs to keep it up. However, I think Penny or Smoltz in the second half need to be ready to get it going. With Wake aging, they've got to carry his slack.

    5. Hitter:

    By far David Ortiz, I don't really think he needs an explanation, but here it is: Top hitters in past years, injured and slumped last year, need him for this year's success

    6. I have faith in Francona, not the utmost, but I do have faith.

    7. (1) Younger guys (Lester, Ellsbury, Pedroia, Youk) keeping it hot

    (2) The injured guys (Lowell, Beckett) doing better this year

    (3) Our guys making a comeback (Ortiz, Varitek)

    8. David Ortiz will definitely have a bounce back year, and Beckett, I guess, will, even though he had a decent season last year.

    9. 99-63?

    10. I have faith that this will be a good season. However, I don't think it's going to be a special season. We might go deep into the postseason, but I don't think something special. I think the Yankees might have a special year: they've improved their team and haven't won the WS since 2000.

    1. ATLANTA BRAVES

    2.Derek Lowe

    Javier Vasquez

    Jair Jurrjens

    Kenshin Kawakami

    Tom Glavine

    3.This is the projected lineup as of now

    KJ(Kelly Johnson) 2B

    Yunel Escobar SS

    Chipper Jones 3B

    Brian McCann C

    Garret Anderson LF

    Jeff Francouer RF

    Casey Kotchamn 1B

    Jordan Schafer CF

    4. Kawakami- We have no idea what were getting and if he can give us 15 ish wins than we have four solid pitchers. Plus we've got Hanson in AAA and Hudson coming back in August

    5. Francouer- If he can return to his 100 RBI potential then we have another threat in our lineup. If he is like last year then we have a gaping hole in the lineup

    6. Complete Faith. I wouldnt want any one else to be our manager. Hes not afraid to stick up for his players

    7. Pitching

    Chipper Jones health

    Jeff Francouers bat

    8. Jeff Francouer and the pitcher is kinda hard since we have so many new faces but im gona go with Rafael Soriano in the bull pen

    9. 88-74, 2nd place NL east, win wild card

    10. I believe this is the year the braves return to the post season. Im completly pumped up for sunday night(opening night!!!) and the whole season

    BQ- Cubs just cuz i hate the Yankees with a passion.

    Hey Missy. : )

    1) Mets

    2) Johan Santana, Mike Pelfrey, John Maine, Oliver Perez, Livan Hernandez

    3) Jose Reyes, Daniel Murphy, David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Carlos Delgado, Ryan Church, Luis Castillo, Brian Schneider.

    4) Johan Santana

    5) Carlos Delgado

    6) A LOT, I LOVE Jerry Manuel

    7) Pitching, Consistency, Mental Toughness

    8) John Maine, I don't know about the hitting situation. I'm definitely not going out on the limb for Castillo.

    9) I don't like doing that

    10) Very Special, I think were going to the World Series

    BQ - A matter of fact, It's raining here in NY. So I'm going with Rain Delay on that one.

  • 1. Boston Red Sox

    2. Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Tim Wakefield, Brad Penny (John Smoltz, and Clay Buchholz waiting in the wings)

    3. Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz, Kevin Youkilis, JD Drew, Jason Bay, Michael Lowell, Jason Varitek, Jed Lowrie

    4. Josh Beckett (aspect of fear)

    5. Dustin Pedroia (front end catalyst)

    6. Francona has a calm demeanor that has guided the Sox for the last 5 years, something we haven't had in a long time. I have complete confidence in him

    7. 1) The kids growing up. Lowrie has starters job to prove he deserves, Ellsbury needs to learn patience, Masterson needs to adjust to the majors, Clay needs his confidence. 2) Return of the injured. Ortiz and Smoltz in particular. 3) The next great pen. Boston is rarely known for a strong pen... but with Okajima, Saito, and Paps I feel good.

    8. Hitter: Ortiz, Pitcher: Buchholz

    9. 93 wins

    10. I think we have a competitive team, one that can get to the playoffs

    BQ- Cubs or Yankees- Who wins today's game:] Cubs

    1.The Atlanta Braves

    2.Derek Lowe, Kenshin Kawakami, Jair Jurrjens, Javier Vasquez, Tom Glavine

    3.Don't quite know the lineup yet but I do know the starters.

    (projected lineup)

    1.ShaferCF

    2.Yunel EscobarSS

    3.Chipper Jones3B

    4.Brian McCannC

    5.Casey Kotchman1B

    6.Jeff FrancouerRF

    7.Kelly Johnson2B

    8.Garrett AndersonLF

    4.It's not just one sole pitcher we need all the starters to fulfill their potential and we should be alright if that happens

    5.Probably Jeff Francouer. If he bounces back and has a Comeback player of the year type season, we should do just fine

    6.I mean its Bobby Cox. I always have faith in him, no matter what

    7.Starting pitchers reach their potential individually,a steady closer all season long, average 4.5 runs per game

    8.Hoping Jeff Francouer and Tom Glavine will both have much better seasons than last year

    9.92-70

    10.A have a lot of faith in my team this season. They made good moves in the offseason and really addressed key areas.
