Trea turner is a complete bust, and shows why you dont draft a guy with less than half a season under his belt in the top 20.... ?????????????????????

Trout has his first "bad year" with less than 100 RBI and less than 100 R.
Mccutchen (spelling)? Bounces back and has a big year finishing as a top 20 hitter.

I'll say it again... Charlie Morton will be your AL comeback player of the year.
Jake Lamb will finish top 3 in the NL MVP voting.
David Ortiz will stay retired.
Barry Bonds will do his absolute best to get into an interleague game with the Giants as their DH.

Yes, my favorite thread of the year. Going to keep riding last's year money predictions.
C-Cameron Rupp becomes a top 8 Catcher
1st- CJ Cron becomes a "must own", Will Myers falls well short of expectations
2nd-Starlin Castro becomes the only Yankees all-star that's a hitter.
3rd-Jake Lamb is a top 5 3rd baseman, Miguel Sano gets demoted to AAA
SS- Pereza (2nd/SS) leads the Majors in SB, Orlando Arcia has a breakout season.
OF- Randall Grichuk becomes the Cards best fantasy hitter, Aaron Judge doesn't live up to the hype, Jason Heyward becomes a .280 hitter.
Bonus: Keon Broxton breakouts one season late.

Danny Duffy wins AL CY.

I'll allow it.

Hitters:
I will say this every year until it happens or he retires. Travis d'Arnaud will hit 25 bombs and have an .800+ OPS.
A Marlin hits 30 homers for his first time, and it is not Yelich or Ozuna. Justin Bour pops 33 and only trails Stanton on his team.
The Mitch Haniger hype is real. 90/20/90 with a .285 average.
Dan Vogelbach is blocked by a top 10 first baseman in Danny Valencia.
Carlos Gomez returns with a 25/30 HR/SB season with 600+ plate appearances.
Jose Bautista leads the AL in homers with 50.
Villar is a top 5 fantasy asset. Again. He is the top SS for the second year running.
Trea Turner replicates his 2016 HR/SB numbers to go 15/35 over a full season. Definitely not worth the fringe top 15 pick. Rajai Davis mirrors Turner in both categories.
Jarrod Dyson cannot handle a full time role and is limited to 350 plate appearances, but still manages 40+ swipes.
Albert Pujols collected 119 RBI's last year. Only two active players got more in 2016. This year, he leads the AL with 125+ RBI's.
Pitchers:
A Dodgers lefty wins the Cy Young. Rich Hill throws 185 innings with the same ratios as last season.
Marcus Stroman wins the ERA title.
David Price throws 200+ innings this season.
Shawn Kelley grabs the closer job wbwtnaully and runs with it. With a sub 2 ERA, sub 1 WHIP, an 11+ K/9, and 35+ saves, he is a top five closer.
Wade Davis cannot stay healthy and Rondon once again has fantasy value once again.
Familia fails to record a single save this year after Addison Reed steals the job when Familia gets suspended.
