Re: Bold Predictions 2018!!!!!
I'll try and do five as well.
1. Mikolas turns out to be useless as a SP
2. Breyvic Valera ends up starting too many games
3. Josh Donaldson is a Cardinal by the trade deadline and fans wonder why didn't we get this guy sooner
4. Leone is an All-Star
5. Carson Kelly is traded
MLB-wide
1. Brewers get the first wild card
2. Eric Hosmer is top 5 NL MVP
3. Cubs finish with best record in MLB
4. Angels finish within two games of Astros in AL West
5. Twins win AL Central
I'll throw in an after the season as well... Manfred introduces proposal to disincentivize tanking.
