Read: Santana MVP, Mets win East, Etc.
…slowly but surely, major media outlets are rolling out their annual prediction and preview columns…as you may recall, i do not bother in this tradition…instead, i will once again be doing a MetsBlog Under-Over Post, which will run first thing next Monday…stay tuned…
In the meantime, check out Tom Verducci at SI.com, who projects that the Mets will win the NL East, of whom he writes:
“I will say, however, I was struck this spring by how many baseball people love the Braves and question New York’s character. ‘They don’t pull together,’ said
one GM of the Mets.”
Meanwhile, the Daily News pulled its writers together to preview the Mets in three columns, here, here and here, the last of which discusses Johan Santana, and whether he can help make ‘The Collapse’ a thing of the past.
Speaking of Santana, in the Chicago Tribune, columnist Phil Rogers predicts that Santana will be the best pitcher and player in the NL East, while Willie Randolph will be the division’s best manager.
Lastly, in the New York Post, Joel Sherman has a bit of fun, making all sorts of alternative predictions, such as, “Out of desperation, the Phillies acquire Kyle Lohse in a trade for a second straight season.”
