My Predictions for the 2011 Major League Baseball Season

After visiting and previewing the different teams around the league during Spring Training, I’ll give my predictions on how things will shape in around the league.  I don’t have a mathematical system or any statistical backing for my predictions.  These predictions are simply based on my gut feeling.  So, without further ado, here it goes…
