If the Yankees win the Wild Card it will have been a very good year. There's a lot question marks but a lot of potential. There's going to be growing pains. I don't think they can swing it.

I'm a huge Yankee fan. I'd be pretty pumped if they managed it. But I'm still excited for the season even though I don't like their chances. They haven't had this much young talent in a long long time.

The season will be a success if the Yankees can win 86-88 games. I think they could be a team that will be hard to deal with in 2018.

I think that the Braves will win 88 games and come in second behind the Mets, but they will get a wildcard berth. I think that they'll have to play at the Rockies in the wildcard game.

I think our season all relies on R.A. Dickey and Bartolo having success this year(I have a feeling Wisler replaces R.A. at some point). I believe Garcia will be strong due to contract year, Folty will have a huge breakout year while Teheran is his all star self. The offense should be well equipped to supply some runs with Ender and Dansby getting on base and Freddie/Kemp knock them in. I'm hoping to see Rio Ruiz get some time at 3B but if Adonis is producing that's even better. And I'm most excited for the duo up the middle, I've wanted Dat Dude BP to be a Brave for the longest time and even tho he is older now he is still productive and I'm excited! It's a win win scenario, Phillips is playing well and plays out the year or if he is struggling we can call up Albies and watch the young stud make his debut. Let's go Braves, wild card here we come!

Who do you think will have the worst record in MLB this year? I was looking at some of the depth charts...wow some really bad teams on paper.
I'll go with Brewers

I'm going to go with the Athletics in the AL just because that division is loaded and the Reds in the NL (they don't have a pitching staff). Overall worst record will probably be the Reds.
