Predictions: The Bold and The Ordinary.
from RotoHardball

Gotta like one prediction here.

Good predictions...but I would disagree with a few of his predictions, that the blue jays will be a disappointment, cano being AL MVP, and that the yankees will clinch a WC berth. They might trade for a "star" hitter IF the yankees still are in contention post-ASB, but that appears to be a pretty big if..or at least at this point in the preseason, JMO.

If the WAR wunderkind mike trout even finishes ~the top 5 offensively in his sophomore season, my prediction is that the voters will very eagerly and overwhelmingly vote for him as AL MVP, in order to make up for fishboy's losing out to Miggy last year.

Edit: maybe even if trout winds up finishing in the top 10 in one or two offensive stats, while handily leading the AL in WAR, SBs, RS, and OF web gems, but I sure hope not...:shrug:

I sure hope that Calanni will be absolutely right on his WS-winner prediction...:tup:

March 23 in Tigers and mlb history:

1938 - Commissioner Landis frees 74 St. Louis Cardinals minor leaguers, among them Pete Reiser, in yet another attempt to halt the farm system cover-up. Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Larry MacPhail makes a pact with his St. Louis counterpart, Branch Rickey, to take the as-yet unknown Reiser and swap him back in the future, but the young outfielder's ability is too great to hide.

1989 The Tigers trade longtime institutional stalwart Tom Brookens to the Yankees.

1990 - Gambler Howard Spira is arrested for extorting money from New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, who paid Spira $40,000 in January. The Commissioner will suspend Steinbrenner because of his relationship with the unsavory character.

2006: According to a new book, San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds tried to keep his name out of the BALCO scandal, sending his lawyer into meetings with company representatives to ask for protection.

Saturday: Tigers vs. Yankees.
from JasonBeck'sTigersblog

Another game for Matt Tuiasosopo in left field, this time against a very good lefty in Andy Pettitte. No start for Jeff Kobernus. Other than that, it?s the regular lineup.
