As I mentioned before, I am going to give you a few of my predictions for the National League first half. Let me remind you that these are all completely out on a limb, and if I'm right then I consider myself a genius. So without further ado...
National League Wills:
First Half
Catchers: Brian McCann will hit over .320.
1st Basemen: Albert Pujols will yet again lead all one-baggers in average at .356.
2nd Basemen: Rickie Weeks will get hurt...OK, that's too easy. Dan Uggla will hit over .275.
3rd Basemen: David Wright will be the first half MVP for the entire league.
Shortstops: Troy Tulowitzki will lead all shortstops in HR's with 18.
Outfielders: Hunter Pence will make the All-Star team, and will be hitting over .305.
Pitchers: Ricky Nolasco will surprise no one and still have 12 first half wins.
National League Won'ts:
First Half
Catchers: Geovany Soto won't hit 10 HR's. (and Bengie Molina won't lead any catchers in steals)
1st Basemen: Prince Fielder won't break 14 home runs.
2nd Basemen: Chase Utley won't lead all 2nd basemen in HR's.
3rd Basemen: Chipper Jones won't be healthy. And in limited time, won't hit .364 either.
Shortstops: Miguel Tejada won't hit .260.
Outfielders: Adam Dunn won't have over 16 HR's, but he will have 6X that many strikeouts.
Pitchers: Like always, Chris Young won't make more than half his scheduled starts.
Until next time,
Peace, Love, and Fantasy
