The Miz's 2006 MLB Preview and Predictions Thread
 
With almost all remaining free agents now signed to contracts, I'd like to preview the 2006 Major League Baseball Season with predictions for the standings, post-season, and awards; as well as projections for full 25-man Opening Day rosters and grades for each aspect of the teams rosters. Here are my predictions for the final standings:

Its the Cubs year. Got Peirre to lead off. Prior is as good as he has been for 4 years. Kerry Wood is the wild card. Hopefully he's healthy, but you cant really tell with him. I'm not sure if we have enough bats in the lineup, but Derrek Lee is obviously a MVP canidate and Ramirez might be also.

Zambrano is gunna blow up this year . This guy has the stuff to be the nastiest pitcher in the league. Its just up to him to reach that potential. I look for Zambrano to win 21 games and be a CY Young canidate. He's due now. This is his year. The kid is nasty.

Go Cubs.

CNM 02-15-2006 04:39 PM
Wow, nice work man. How long did it take you to do that? That being said, I do disagree with you about the Rockies. I think this is the year they get back to .500. They proved down the stretch they could win on the road and that's all that's held them back from being a .500 team in the past. They also improved their bullpen and all the guys that were rookies last year should be better (hopefully no sophomore slumps).

CNM 02-15-2006 06:40 PM
The NL East is there. Posts 11 & 12

Evil Vito 02-15-2006 06:41 PM
<font color=goldenrod>That's a pretty good Met roster, only changes I'd make are put Chris Woodward on the bench in place of Boone (Woodward is basically a lock because of his versatility and he came up in the clutch last year). I also doubt Heath Bell makes the team since that would mean the only lefty in the pen is Wagner. I'll take a crapshoot and say Mike Venafro gets the lefty spot.

Only other changes that would probably happen is that Kaz Matsui probably has the inside track on Hernandez...though with a good spring Anderson should get the job. Endy Chavez also would probably be more likely to make it over Tike Redman (Endy has a major-league contract, is a favorite of Omar's, and has basically all of the same skills as Tike)

Also, I heard some guy named Uggla is getting a LONG look at 2B for the Marlins, not that it's gonna make them suck any less.

I can defintely see Red Sox winning the wildcard or maybe finishing one spot behind it. I don't see them being that far back. Only thing that worrys me is if they get off to a rocky start and want to make some mid-season trades they pretty already dealt a majority of their prospects. The team is full of "Ifs" but if a lot of them work out, they will have a really good year.

Yeah the NL West is the hardest to predict, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Rockies third, fourth, or fifth. I put them last because every single hitter in their lineup not named Todd Helton is unproven. They could all have solid years or all have awful years, you really never know with 2nd and 3rd year players. I think this is probably the best pitching they have ever had in Denver though.

Yeah I dunno the NL too well. I put Hernandez at 2B because I thought I read somewhere that Minaya said the job is his to lose, but looking now I can't find anything about that. Redman or Chavez is a close call but at this point I think they'd go with Redman being that he is the better hitter.

I think you meant Perisho rather than Venafro, which you are right about.

Uggla will probably be on the Marlins roster but he won't start over Pokey. I didn't have him on there because, well, its the Marlins and I don't think anybody cares.

As for how long it took me, I worked on it for about 10 minutes a day as soon as the season ended.

I sure hope the Jays are better than 2 games over .500. I hoping they get close to 90 wins. As long as they are competitive all year, that's all I ask.

Evil Vito 02-18-2006 03:39 PM
<font color=goldenrod>It's tough to say if the Mets will win the NL East this year. Last year I thought Pedro/Beltran put them over the top, but that was me being over-optimistic. This year, they certainly have all the tools and the talent to get the job done, buit the Braves just keep coming back every year. I fully believe the team can do it, it's just a matter of whather or not it happens. Gonna be really interesting.

Anyways, since I'm bored, here's my projected batting order to start the season:

SS - Reyes (a lock to lead off)
C - LoDuca (batting him 2nd will get criticism due to his lack of speed, but he makes great contact...something all #2 hitters should do. If it doesn't work out here, he can bat 6th)
CF - Beltran (Some say the pressure gets to him in the 3-hole, but I think Beltran will shine this year. Keep in mind, even A-Rod struggled in his first year in NY)
1B - Delgado (a lock for cleanup)
3B - Wright (6th is too low for him, could hit 3rd if Beltran gets bumped to #2)
LF - Floyd (he might not like batting this low...but the lefties will be split up)
RF - Diaz (beats out Nady in ST...purely a guess. Nady would bat here if he won)
2B - Matsui (him and Hernandez put forth similar springs...so the $7 million contract is the deciding factor)

April 3rd cannot get here soon enough...</font>

As a Loyal marlins fan, i still refuse to believe they will be in last place or have such a huge blowout, i dont honestly think they have a shot of making the post season, but even with some of there big name pitchers gone, they still have a solid pictching rotation, think we'll lose a lot of close games simply because we dont have the bats, but i think maybe in the second half of the season as the young players begin to gather experience, we might make a Jack Mckeon style run, and push for third or fourth in the division, then again i could be completly wrong. but gotta have faith lol

The Miz 02-19-2006 11:52 AM
I'd say Marlins in last in the NL East is the one lock for predicting standings

CNM 02-19-2006 11:12 PM
The '06 Royals remind me of teams like the Pirates the last few years that go out and sign past their prime vets because their farm system sucks. They better hope it starts producing some good prospects or they'll be stuck in this rebuilding cycle for a long time.

The Miz 02-19-2006 11:39 PM
Exactly. The Royals GM is such a moron, he has the lowest payroll in the league but he spends it like he is Brian Cashman. Going after the most expensive free agents he can afford, regardless of how old and unvaluable they may be. They need to continue to groom their young players while signing inexpensive free agents who can still provide value. Signing players like Mark Grudzielanek, Reggie Sanders, Doug Mientkiewicz, Scott Elarton, Joe Mays, and Elmer Dessens (who will combine for $17.5 million in 2006, almost half of their expected payroll) is not going to net you anything more than 5 wins, so whats even the point?

And fucking Mike Sweeney is still on that team, taking up 30% of the payroll when teams always want to trade for him and give the Royals young inexpensive players. Their refusal to take a sort of "Moneyball" approach is the reason for their continued failure over the years.

D Mac 02-20-2006 12:55 AM
And their continued failure = less tickets sold = relocation if they don't get their asses in gear. :mad:

I can call it "not likely" all I want since it is only my "prediction" just as it is yours, only the other way around.

The Angels owned us as well but we all know how that turned out.

The Miz 02-27-2006 07:40 PM
Why didn't you just say "I predict the White Sox would beat the A's in a series" then? Its February, we know with relative certainty that the best teams in the AL are the Yankees, Red Sox, Blue Jays, White Sox, Twins, Indians, A's, and Angels. Calling any of the listed teams "unlikely" to beat any of the others in a 7-game series that would happen more than 7 months from now is just stupid.

Evil Vito 03-22-2006 09:07 AM
<font color=goldenrod>With just 12 days before the regular season, and dying of boredom, here's my revamped Mets roster prediction:

<b>Lineup</b>
1. SS - Jose Reyes
2. C - Paul Lo Duca
3. CF - Carlos Beltran
4. 1B - Carlos Delgado
5. 3B - David Wright
6. LF - Cliff Floyd
7. RF - Xavier Nady
8. 2B - Anderson Hernandez

Thoughts: VERY solid lineup here. Lo Duca batting second COULD be a risk because of his lack of speed, but he's great at making contact. Originally I thought Diaz was gonna win the RF job, but with the spring Nady's had, I think Diaz will be starting in AAA to get regular ABs. Also, obviously I thought Matsui would start but he's injured. Hopefully Hernandez plays well enough to make the Mets hold off Matsui's return.


<b>Rotation</b>
Tom Glavine
Steve Trachsel
Victor Zambrano
Brian Bannister
Pedro Martinez

Thoughts: A solid rotation, though unfortunately Pedro likely won't make his first start until the 2nd week (the way the schedule shakes out a 5th starter really isn't needed until then). I'm hoping Pedro can pitch earlier than that, but don't rush him. I woulda loved to see him start Opening Day, but I'd much rather see him healthy and ready to throw 7 strong innings by mid-April. Bannister's also gonna be interesting watch, he probably pitched his way into the rotation ahead of Heilman.


<b>Bench</b>
1B - Julio Franco
C - Ramon Castro
UTIL - Chris Woodward
2B/3B/OF - Jose Valentin
OF - Endy Chavez

Thoughts: A good bench on the whole. Franco will likely be the primary pinch-hit canidate, and Castro will be starting at least once a week, most likely twice. Chavez is a great pinch-running option, and Woodward/Valentin can fill in nicely whenever and wherever needed.


<b>Bullpen</b>

Billy Wagner (Closer)
Duaner Sanchez
Chad Bradford
Aaron Heilman
Jorge Julio
Royce Ring
Yusaku Iriki

Thoughts: Definately an upgrade over last year. Wagner should be near the top in saves. Thus far, Randolph has identified Wagner, Sanchez, and Bradford as the only definates. If Heilman doesn't crack the rotation he'll certainly be in the pen. Julio was identified as a "most likely" and so he makes it. Ring narrowly wins the lefty job, and if he falters he can be replaced with Pedro Feliciano, Juan Perez, or even Darren Oliver. Iriki is the 12th pitcher and 25th man on the team, really only making it because Diaz didn't win the starting RF job. He'll serve as the long reliever, if he falters he can be replaced by Jose Lima; and if Nady struggles Iriki will be sent down to bring Diaz back up to start in RF.</font>

The Miz 03-22-2006 12:06 PM
Heilman has had way too good a spring to start in the bullpen. Even if he did, Jose Lima would likely get the nod before Bannister. And Victor Diaz is still guaranteed a platoon spot

<font color=goldenrod>Bannister's getting serious contention for the #5 spot, and has outpitched Heilman thus far. Besides that, word is that Mets management prefer keeping Heilman in the pen based on what they saw last year. Trust me, I'd MUCH rather have Heilman AND Bannister in the rotation with Zambrano coming out of the bullpen (where he was actually pretty decent last year) but Willie has of course already identified Zambrano as his #4 starter :roll: Lima's gotten very little consideration for a rotation spot, and is being looked at as a possible long relief option instead. On the plus side, Heilman in the pen = less time for Julio

As for Diaz, I've still heard they plan on riding Nady as their everyday RF'er until he starts struggling against RHP. Now while of course Nady could start struggling this spring and Diaz could come through and win the job, I'm going by what I see. A platoon was the initial plan, but they are both right-handed and management would rather not see Diaz on the bench while Nady does well. I'd wager that Diaz will be promoted to the big league club within a few weeks (as they want him starting everyday in the meantime)...but I still don't think he'll be a part of the Opening Day 25-man roster.</font>

He sprained his MCL in a game a week ago and won't even be able to practice for 3 weeks and is likely to miss all of April with his minor league rehab. Don't be surprised to see Tony Graffanino traded to the Mets in a few days.

The Miz 03-28-2006 03:29 PM
I don't see how a rotation that features Victor Zambrano, Brian Bannister and Steve Trachsel can win a division, to be honest

Evil Vito 03-28-2006 04:05 PM
<font color=goldenrod>I think the rotation is deeper than meets the eye.

Pedro and Glavine are obvious, and will probably be very good. Zambrano when on is very solid, he has nasty stuff but it's never been properly utilized. Trachsel should be able to eat the innings and save a vast improved (and frequently used) bullpen. And Bannister is, of course, the unknown here. If he pitches as he has in spring he'll be a great asset, and if he falters then Heilman will take over.</font>

The Miz 03-28-2006 10:00 PM
Zambrano is solid when he's on. Oh. Wouldn't that statement apply to 100.0% of major league baseball players? I mean, if they play baseball professionally, they are obviously solid when they are on. Looking at Zambrano's stats last year, you find a 4.17 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and 170 hits in 166 innings. Looks like he was off more often than on.

Joe McEwing, possibly baseball's worst hitter, has been on before. That doesn't change the fact that he put up a line of .239/.263/.294 (.558) last year.

Victor Zambrano has consistently shown that he is usually not on. Every season of his career, he has been bad. And pitchers usually don't just figure it out at the age of 30.

Trachsel may eat innings, it is however unfortunate that he pitches badly whilst eating said innings.

I'm sorry but the Mets rotation is shit

Evil Vito 03-28-2006 11:01 PM
<font color=goldenrod>The key word being "usually"

From what I've seen thus far in the WBC and Spring Training (the new station shows all the ST games so I've seen Zambrano pitch), Zambrano's pitches have been pretty damn consistant. He's been staying within the strike zone and his breaking pitches have been nasty. Note how I didn't bring up any stats there, as ST stats are worthless.

If Zambrano can keep this up, I think he'll be much better than last year. More on than off, at least.

As for Trachsel, yeah, he's likely gonna suck. Word is he's gonna be the #5 guy and not start until week 2. Wouldn't be shocked if he sucks and complains and all of that. If so, he'll be gone and Heilman will be back in the rotation. Another mid/late season option would be Mike Pelfrey, who everyone seems to think is a mere step away from being big league ready (even though he'll be starting in Single-A)</font>
