En Votto Veritas 498 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 6 hours ago, tucker26 said: 32 year old Buster Posey bats .300 and hits 20-25 HRs. I'm buying Buster this year for sure and .300 is doable but dude has hit 7, 5, 12, 14, and 19 HR, over the past 5 seasons beginning last year. He has only hit more than 20 HRs twice in 9 seasons. Love the boldness of this call. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cizastro 460 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 The Astros will struggle in Oakland as their drumming fans end up sending mixed signals to Astros hitters making them unsure on which pitches to swing at. Keston Hiura and Gavin Lux finish top 5 at 2B. Sano hits 45 bombs and finishes top 5 at 1B. Devers finishes out of the top 10 at 3B (hope I'm wrong cuz I own him on just about every team) Mondesi stays healthy and finishes the year as the best SS going 20+ HR and 70+ SB. Tommy Pham becomes waiver wire fodder in San Diego Willie Calhoun finishes as a top 5 CF Luis Robert struggles to have fantasy relevance in his rookie year. Bryce Harper finishes outside of the top 10 RF Tyler Glasnow wins the AL Cy Young Sonny Gray is the best Reds pitcher and puts in a Cy Young worthy season. Gallegos is the NL's best closer at season's end. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dirty Little Birdie 1,131 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Anyone know if Taobball is going to give his top 200 this year? I haven't seen him post in a while and I know he was writing for different outlets as of last season. I always look forward to his predictions - bold or otherwise. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AF25 90 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1) Rockies' Joe Black realizing young talented players need more starting jobs than has been's veterans by starting Hampson/Hilliard over Desmond with Hampson playing all over the field and steal 70+ bases. 2) Acuna reach the almost impossible 50/50 in 2020 and win the NL MVP 3) Arenado gets traded before season starts and have a great year in which made all critics who said he can't hit outside of Coors eat crow 4) RadioShack and Waste Management became the official sponsor of Houston Astros 5) Braves realizing their stadiums names of Truist Park and Cool Today Park are so tough on fans that they decided to rename them to Hank Aaron Field, Powered by Truist and Koolaids Field of Dreams 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How about Edwin Encarnación outproduces Pete Alonso. 2. Frankie Montas and Zac Gallen have better years than Chris Sale and Luis Severino. 3. Corey Seager finishes as a top 50 player. 4. Teoscar Hernandez finishes as a top 30 outfielder. 5. Yu Darvish finishes top 3 in Cy Young voting. 6. Aaron Civale and Kevin Gausman finish as top 40 SPs. 7. Blake Treinen replaces Kenley as closer by June. 8. Mark Canha finishes as a top 20 outfielder. #2, #8, #5, #6 are as likely as the Astros not cheating in 2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thenewwildone8 794 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 1. Twins, Astros and the A’s all miss the playoffs. 2. Rendon is not even the 10’th best 3B in fantasy. 3. Trout is no longer a top 5 fantasy option. 4. Sale and Severino have better seasons than Flaherty and Verlander. 5. Stanton is actually healthy and is in the AL MVP discussion. 6. Luis Robert disappoints in his first season, Dylan Carlson on the other hand carries St. Louis. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ncbobcats 164 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 My bold predicted is no matter what Vegas sets the over/under at for number of times Astros players are hit by pitches, it won't be high enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You think A’s, Astros miss playoffs which would mean you think the Angels won the division? But then you think Trout and Rendon won’t have as good of seasons. What’s the logic behind that? Angels rotation eats a** so they’ll be pretty much Trout and Rendon driven this year. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a good time for some more bold predictions..... Kyle Seager hits under .220, Mariners can’t eat whole contract and give him away for a used Trojan.

It wasn't meant to be inflammatory. I've got Dahl in my keeper league and my only disappointment has been his injuries. I think he's got a lot of talent and I hope he plays the whole season, but he hasn't done that in any MLB season yet. Last year he had his most plate appearances with 413. Just a simple fact. It's not like I said he was going to get beaned in the head and have to go to the hospital. Chill out. Geez, ankle sprain... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
