| - | Below be my predictions yo, but more than any other year this could go sideways. No one drafted really poorly as some people have in recent years (cough Tom cough). I truly believe anyone can win. If you are in the bottom fret not or maybe take it as an omen that I know nothing. | + | Below be my predictions yo, but this could all go sideways.

| As always I am just dealing with your team as of the draft with my takes; I can’t keep track if you picked up Johnny Hotnuts or slipped the tongue to Malcolm McVultureSave. I am not going off past managerial performances either…some of you have taken August off in previous seasons. I am also doing this before I read your responses to my questions, any connection is just serendipitous.

| - | Judge, Chourio, Turner, Suarez…I think he had all those guys, I am too lazy to check. He has a good combo of speed and pop and if Buxton and Seyia are healthy (big if) and Konnor Griffin is the real thing, he could be in the free eats again like McNally with the left over BBQ in Houston. | + | Judge, Chourio, Turner, Suarez…I think he had all those guys, I am too lazy to check.

| - | Then again his staff is filled with question marks, but looking at the full league, I will be saying this often in this preview. Is this Mclean’s year to become a dominant #1, is Gausman cooked? Will Misorowski’s arm fall off. I think the upside is certainly here, but there is a lot of uncertainty certainly makes certain sense?!?!? A fun team for sure, just not sure it is built to win it all… | + | Then again his staff is filled with question marks, but looking at the full league, I will be saying this often in this preview.

| El Toro Blanco’s arms are fortified by the best bullpen in Rockem, Miller, Hader and Megill will give him the lead in saves, low whip and K’s. Starters like Peralta, Eovaldi will do the same, just switch saves with wins. Two returning arms could be huge as well with Snell and Cole. Welp, looks like we will all be ponying up to feed Bull yet again… | El Toro Blanco’s arms are fortified by the best bullpen in Rockem, Miller, Hader and Megill will give him the lead in saves, low whip and K’s.

| - | I usually butter up people then clock them in the jaw, but Donnie’s team doesn’t look so bad. On the offensive side he went with well rounded guys and got quite a few of them. Witt Jr., Carroll, Merrill, Happ, Doyle. He may need some extra pop but bats like Goodman, Bregman (in windy Wrigley) and Adell could provide that extra whomp to push him towards the top. | + | I usually butter up people then clock them in the jaw, but Donnie’s team doesn’t look so bad.

| - | I feel Johnny went safe with Tucker and Henderson 1-2 but can’t fault him there. I said it next to him at the time so I might as well write it here, I think his team comes down to Austin Riley. If he is back-back, then I think Bird could be in contention, especially if O'neil Cruz also comes to life and puts it together. We shall see. | + | I feel Johnny went safe with Tucker and Henderson 1-2 but can’t fault him there.
