Make your boldest prediction of the 2009 baseball season!

[thenumberonemetfan]

Logan Morrison makes the fish out of ST gets NL MVP, NL batting title,World series MVP and immediately following these events he is inducted into the HOF.


now seriously these kind of threads are utterly ridiculous the OP made a bold but possibly realistic statement almost everyone who posted afterward made an absurd prediction about a guy they have a lot of money invested in.


boldest prediction = has to be possible

My predictions are very possible.

 

[blitzerlover]

Jeff Francoeur will hit .260

Very bold there.

 

[cowboysrule48]

Jeremy Bonderman will recover from his injury and strike out 200 batters while winning 15 or more games.

 

[HoustonTeams4Me]

1) Pirates will make the playoffs.

2) Zack Greinke will win the Cy Young (& the Royals will go deep into the playoffs).

3) Tim Licecum AND David Price will both suffer season ending injuries (one will need TJ surgery...Guess which?)

4) Vlad Guerrero & Griffey Jr. are "outed" for steroid use (even though I really like them both, I'm going "bold"...

5) Josh Hamilton is traded later in the year to the Yankees for thier playoff run (since J.Hamilton shows his arse & falls off the wagon, the Rangers eventually are tired of putting up with the "circus" & off the field "shenanigans" he will begin to cause).

6) A.Pujols bounces back this year with a very strong statistical showing until the Cardinals are mathmatically eliminated from the playoff race, he then "shuts it down" & opts for surgery.

7) A "no-namer" will win ROY (he's not a full unknown but he will be one of those player's that starts out the season as a "longshot" to even be a starter on a club.

8) Wieters will eventually get the call only to struggle mightily (he'll be a huge letdown in the MLB "this" year).

9) Jesus Montero will be playing in the MLB by the end of the year & will become a permanent fixture for the Yankees.....at First Base!

10) Eric Hosmer will be Milb POY!

I tried to stay away from being predictable with "homer" pick's, & I tried to keep all of the bold prediction's somewhat realistic (every thing I wrote above "could" happen). this was fun, lets see some more!

 

[joey12508]

[Guest]

With or without the juice?

 

[tramers]

PIRATES WIN IT ALL !! i'll say it seems other fans won't [ .500 and make playoffs]
can't get any bolder than that

 

[nikateen]

Rickie Weeks will have a 30/30 season this year

 

[darocker80]

Tim Lincecum hits 300k

 

[abncollectsautos]

chipper goes .365, 43 hr, 129 rbi
francoeur goes .321, 38, 112
lowe and javier vazquez combine for a 39-5 record and a 2.98 era

braves win 109 and take the world series over boston in six games with smoltz losing two of them.

oh yeah bobby cox wins manager of the year, retires and lets terry pendleton take over as manager.

every single scenario = impossible

 

[NECpilgrims8]

Howie Kendrick - AL batting title

Evan Longoria - 45 HR's

Hanley Ramirez - 40/40

David Wright - NL MVP

 

[Huffamaniac]

Adam LaRoche .300 30 plus homers 100 rbis
plays 155 games

 

[Huffamaniac]

Homer Bailey winning 15 games is the boldest predictions i have read thus far

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.

yeah but as a die hard braves fan i can wish

 

[green_pachyderm_card]

- Howie Kendrick doesn't get hit in the wrist and bats .350+

- Chris B. Young 30/30 and flirts with 40/40

- Moose clearly establishes himself as best in minors and gets a successful taste in Sept.

-Aroid is an emotional mess and misses over half the season due to fake injuries

 

[dethomas07]

Okay....here is my bold prediction:

Barry Bonds will win the AL CY award.

David

Not as ridiculous as some of the other predictions.
