Make your boldest prediction of the 2009 baseball season!

[beefycheddar]

Manny wins AL MVP with the Yankees.

 

[Bornagaincollector]

Travis Hafner wins CBP of the year with .301 32 109
Tigers lose 80+ games again
Jamie Moyer wins 15+ games

And my boldest pick of 09 is:
The Oakland A's win the West with a 90-72 record! :shock:

 

[KC37]

John Smoltz has a 5-0 September.

Miguel Cabrera has 150 RBI.

Cain and Lincecum combine to strike out 500 batters.

 

[kentuckyderby]

Therion and 200LBHockey become mods on the Razor Forum

change1 hooks up with JessikAnne (she is a doll)

Wossa sells his collection and donates it to the lady who had 8 babies (14 kids all under 7 years old)

Squeeze play makes a difference in July's All-Star Game

 

[card-treasury]

Cain and Lincecum combine to strike out 500 batters.

WHAT DOES CAIN NEED?

 

[GiantsSuperCollector]

Cain and Lincecum combine to strike out 500 batters.

That will easily happen, my predictions:
A's will win their division

Lincecum will repeat as Cy Young with 20+ wins 275+ SOs

Cubs won't make the playoffs

 

[70Chip]

In the 'Battle of 95' the Orioles beat the Nationals in game 6 of the World Series.....With Nick Markakis taking MVP honors.

 

[elemin8]

Rich Harden wins the Cy Young by going 19-3 with a 3.01 ERA

I second this.

My Predictions

Kendrick wins Batting Title
Rangers win the AL West
Griffey will retire before season end

 

[SwarzakGuy40]

Griffey hits 25 homeruns and 100+ RBI for the M's.

Felix Hernandez with CY and throws a no hitter.

 

[thenumberonemetfan]

beltran wins the mvp with .313 36hr 137rbi
pelfrey wins the cy young
mets win 104 games

 

[200lbhockeyplayer]

Bold?

1. Casey Kotchman wins the NL batting title.
2. Cubs finish 3rd in the NL central behind St. Louis and Houston.
3. Mark Teixeira bats under .300 with less than 30 HR and 100 HR.
4. Ken Griffey Jr. is released by All-Star break.
5. San Francisco Giants win the NL West.
6. Matt Holliday (see #3).
7. AJ Burnett has a better season than CC Sabathia.
8. Mark McGwire comes out of seclusion and speaks about steroids use.
9. Manny Ramirez signs to play in Japan for $30 million/yr
10. Strasburg is NOT the #1 pick in the amateur draft.

 

[FortyFour]

Madison Bumgarner gets called up.

 

[UMich92]

1. Verlander throws no-no #2 and Tigers bounce back with pitching and defense.
2. Manny Ramirez signs a Clemens-like contract at $20+ million for half a season.
3. All 104 names on steroids list are "leaked" and the players on the list sue the union and Gene Orza for failing to destroy the samples. The union crumbles as a result.

[prospector93]

This is bold but I say Wieters fails in the bigs and is sent back down.

 

[nevermore]

Mariano Rivera has his best season yet and wins both the AL Cy Young and AL MVP Award.

 

[egon8]

Rich Harden wins the Cy Young by going 19-3 with a 3.01 ERA

Even bolder would be Harden pitches a complete game!!
Did he make it out of the sixth at all last year?

 

[DRav87]

Aaron Harang, Edinson Volquez, Bronson Arroyo, Johnny Cueto and Homer Bailey (Yes I said it) all win over 15 games as the Reds win the NL Central.

 

[JEBJJA]

Phillies are the second NL team in 80+ years to repeat and win the World Series.
Cole Hamels win the CY Young
Red Sox fall to fourth place in the NL East
Jorge Posada wins comeback player of the year
C.C. Sabathia wins 15 games against 11 losses with a 4.24 ERA and decides to get gastro surgery......

 

[Jakpi20]

Fausto Carmona wins AL Cy Young to give the Indians 3 straight Cy's all different pitchers.






And then they win the world series for the first time in 61 years

 

[fengzhang]

The Giants will have a 20-HR player. I don't know who but this is as bold of a prediction as it gets.
