I thought this would be a fun topic. Rank each team on where you think they will finish in their division. It'll be good to document our predictions in the preseason, to give us some context to use throughout the year. April 4th should be the cutoff. Teams are in their 2014 standings order

AL EAST - Baltimore, New York, Toronto, Tampa Bay, Boston

If there is interest here I'd be happy to track a scoring. Off the top of my head, I think we say a point per correct answer, double if you get the whole division, double for playoff predictions (Division winners + Wildcard selections. Wildcard order doesn't matter)

Some news on the AL-East teams that have crossed my plate:

- Roberto Osuna and Miguel Castro apparently have a real shot at making the Blue Jays bullpen. Not official yet but i've seen a lot of reports saying its a strong posibility. It could be a really young Blue Jays if those two make the roster plus van down by the river Norris, Sanchez, Pompey and Devon Travis all could be on the opening day roster.

- Apparently Kevin Gausman could open the year in the bullpen. Still undecided but could be a distinct possibility.

Best MLB record: Washington (Seattle in the AL)
Worst MLB record: Philly, in a runaway. Worst AL record: Twins edge the Yanks. I really think NYY are closing in on a repeat of 1990-1992 though.

They call me "The Spaceman," but I'm really down to earth -- I think. I have my days. I don't hear as well as I used to, but you can't blame that on marijuana. I gotta blame that on high altitudes and Led Zeppelin -- they were good musicians.
