Why have Braves been ranked so high the last few offseasons?

This is stupid.

Obviously kyle lohse is testing the market and leaving but we beat the nats in the NLDS and the braves are just pathetic. The cards dont have to make big splashes with trades and free agency to be consistent every year. Oh well they usually are racist against STL but we shall see.

With everyone a year older, and A-Rod out, I wouldn't have them top 3 preseason.

Fair enough, but everyone is acting like they will suck.

They have Youk to replace ARod. They will be more than fine. 90+ win team for sure.

Rotation of chapman, cueto, and Latos with our lineup gives me a raging boner.

Thank you a fricking Reds fan it is about time. I respect you alot right now Barry. I also agree about the rotation and with the addition of Choo at the top of the lineup we should be productive offensively.

Ahhhh, that isn't really replacing.

They have an old rotation and their bullpen is somewhat suspect. Mo should be ok coming back from injury, but there is always that uncertainty.

I think they are an 88-92 win team, depending on how Toronto comes together and if Baltimore can sustain their success. Also, the Rays should be a good team.

Really at this point, any team besides Boston has a chance to win the East. That is a very, very good division now. Even Boston isn't terrible and should win around 80 games.

I like Boston this year.

I think they shock everyone and get third.

Still early, but I am leaning towards:

Toronto
New York
Boston
Tampa
Baltimore

Orioles 19... We sure aren't hype machines but come season end we'll be higher than that.

I think I like the Reds best overall. I just trust their ability to repeat more than the Nationals (who are also very good).
