WWhat Will Be Some Interesting Things To Watch For In The National League East This Season ?

Might not be competitive. The Nats, who for some reason could not get out of their own way in the first half of the season should run away with it. As far as I'm concerned, the loss of two key pitchers have cost the Braves any realistic chance. Santana does not match up to who they lost. The Phils are awful and the Marlins have some interesting new talent, but still have a ways to go. The Mets are the only maybe, but they need a few players to exceed their pay grade -- and stay healthy.

The NL East will most likely be all about the Nationals and the Braves and who will have the better end of these two. I see the Mets and Marlins battling for third and the Phillies being the worst team of the league but as being said, the division race between the Nats and Braves will be the key issue of the NL East.

How long it will take for Sandberg to be fired as Phillies manager. He's already in over his head.

Will Matt Williams' leadership help or hurt the Nationals to the division championship.

How much will the Braves' depleted starting rotation affect their performance.

Mets? Marlins? See ya next year.
