Strat 360°

NL Predicted Standings

1.  Mets - Great lineup and a patchwork staff.
2.  Phillies - Great lineup.  They win division if the staff holds up.
3.  Marlins - Lots of nice young players.   A healthy Johnson is key.
4.  Braves - Could be a really tough season if Smoltz isn’t his old self.
5.  Nationals - You think Zimmerman has already started thinking about free agency?

Central
1.  Brewers - The surprise team of the 2007 season with good lineup and rotation.
2.  Cardinals - Not enough quality role players on the team.
3.  Astros - Carlos Lee will impress.  Jason Jennings will not.
4.  Cubs - It’ll be a bloodbath based on money spent.
5.  Pirates - Strat guys will watch Snell, Bay, Walker, and McCutchen.6. Reds

West
1.  D-Backs - Webb and the kids from AAA get the division title.
2.  Dodgers - Good pitching, little hitting.  It’s 1965 again.
3.  Padres - Maddux gives them 4 good starters but the lineup needs a big bat.
4.  Giants - Zito and Cain and pray for rain.
5.  Rockies - Some nice bats but Cook and Francis disappoint.

Playoffs
