Reality-BasedTM Political Numbers from Nicholas Beaudrot
I don't get why there's a lot of renewed optimism about the M's this year. I'm psyched to see a full season from King Felix, but like any pitcher, he's one sore shoulder away from the disabled list.
Meanwhile, the NL East will feature a dogfight between the revamped Mets, the Phillies, and of course, the Braves. Everyone seems to think This Is The Year It Ends For Atlanta, and while I've agreed with that consensus at least twice before (in 2001 and 2004), I really don't see why it should happen. Simply by getting a full season out of Jeff Francouer and not having Brian Jordan as a regular for the first two months of the season, the offense will improve by standing in place. What happens with the rotation is of course a different matter, but I have confidence they'll pull it together.
Play ball!
