What about Jeff Bagwell. He is having a great start to the season. I know its highly unlikely, but I think it would be great for him to win it. He has a lot of protection behind him in the lineup.
I can't find the prediction thread, but.... I just wanted to go out on a limb and make a prediction. I dont know if I'll be right like I was on some of my other ones. The Astros will either win 89 or 98 games this year. Mark it down and keep it safe untill the first of October. We will make the playoffs either Wild Card or Division Title. I think Division though. This shouldn't count as a prediction, because I'm taking a stab at this.... I think they will make it to the Series, but will be beaten. Them and the Yankees.
89 games will not make the playoffs. What are you thinking? You are the great predictor, but 89 has never meant playoffs. Come on EWS! Predict Kent for a homerun that gets us to the playoffs or Miller pitching a no hitter. If 89 wins gets us into the playoff then you are a great predictor.
89 has never meant the playoffs? In 1987 the Twins won 85 and wound up World Champions. Sometimes 89 is enough.
It's cool, -73. You just need absolute value symbols around the equation. I still don't think that gets us into the playoffs. EvaRocketsLuv, touche.
Pujols is the leader right now, but bonds is close, whether you want to believe it or not. OPS's, Bonds: 1130, Pujols:1168. Homers: 20, 22 Albert has better runs/rbi's because he is surrounded by a better offense and barry is playing in a severe pitchers park esp tough on lefties. And barry has his team in first place while the cards are scuffling in the Central. It's a heck of a lot closer than you think if you ask me, and Bonds has been quiet for Bonds this year so far.
I used the big smiley face to show exaggeration. Obviously Bonds is putting up some solid numbers. But, Pujols is in the lead.
