I really enjoyed the 2009 version of Topps Tribute Baseball. I could have done without the confusion of what was an authentic game-used bat versus game-used seat relics, but I thought it was a fun rip. I got lucky and pulled a nice Albert Pujols triple jersey autograph #’ed/75. So far, the 2010 set looks [...]

After reading the latest Sporting News in which they make their annual baseball
predictions, I decided to put my own crystal ball to the test.
But unlike my Sporting News brothers who boldly predicted seven of the eight
teams from last years playoffs would make a return visit to the postseason, I’m actually
going to put bold to the test with some picks that are let’s just say, a little more
unorthodox than most others you’ll see.
The best part of making predictions such as these is that if you hit on a fare amount
of them you can puff out your chest and tell everybody how brilliant you are when
you check back in seven months. And if you don’t hit on any of your picks, you can
hope anybody who reads this will have moved on and could care less how poorly your
guesstimations were. Either way, good, clean fun. And just to make it more interesting,
I’ll give anyone who can pick all eight of the playoff teams correctly four unopened
boxes of baseball cards and five autographed photos for their efforts. The only stipulation
is that you have to remind me in October and you can’t pick the same eight as I do.
Good luck.
AL East Champion: With the addition of Curtis Granderson to the lineup and Javier
Vazquez to the rotation, the defending champs might be better than last year. I’m
reluctantly going with the Yankees to win the division but I like the Rays to edge
the BoSox for the runner-up spot because I believe Tampa’s lineup can score outscore
almost anybody.
AL Central Champion: While the fashionable pick seems to be the Twins again this
year, I can’t get past the White Sox impressive pitching rotation and the potential
of their lineup. With Mark Buehrle, Jake Peavey, John Dans, Gavin Floyd and even Freddy
Sanchez to a lesser degree, Chicago’s staff can matchup 1-5 with any team in the either
league. Couple that with I blelieve Alex Rios, Alexei Ramirez and Carlos Quinten will
all produce bounce-back seasons and the pick is the Southsiders. With an impressive
staff of its own, I think the Tigers will be close behind and Minnesota will have
to settle for a third-place finish.
AL West Champion: I’ve seen may experts going with Seattle to win the West
but I see too many holes in their lineup and a big drop-off after Felix Hernandez
and Cliff Lee on the pitching staff to contend. Despite the lack of a true No. 1 starter,
the depth of the Angels’ pitching staff should keep them in almost every game and
a lineup that can do damage 1-9 should allow them to rise above the rest in the West.
I like the pitching-strapped Rangers to take second, Seattle third and I expect Oakland
could be mathematically eliminated by Mother’s Day.
NL East Champion: With virtually all the same pieces to the puzzle returning
from last year’s World Series team it’s pretty hard not to like the Phillies in the
East. Factor in the addition of arguably the best pitcher in the game in Roy Halladay
and you have a recipe for a repeat. I like the Braves pitching to helkp them edge
the Marlins for the runner-up spot.
NL Central Champion: In what I believe is the most competitive division in
all of the land, I’m going to give the nod to the Cubs. As a Brewers fan I have a
hard time going that route but I believe a rejuvenated and slimmed down Carlos Zambrano
will solidify the best overall staff and help lead the Northsiders to the top. Defending
champ St. Louis will be right there until the final days and so will Milwaukee. I
also believe the Reds will surprise many by remaining in contention until the final
month but in the end, their pitching won’t be enough to get over the hump.
NL West Champion: While the Central is the most competitive division, the West
is easily the hardest to figure. If the Giants had more offense they’d be an easy
pick with their impressive pitching staff in toe and the Rockies would be an easy
pitch if they had more quality arms. The Dodgers are solid in both areas but not overly
impressive in either. The Diamondbacks are in trouble in Brandon Webb is unable to
get healthy and the Padres lineup looks solid from top to bottom but their pitching
staff features five No. 3 starters. I think they’ll have to go out and sign another
bat before the trade deadline, but if they can solidify the lineup for the stretch
run, I think the Giants will somehow find a way to score just enough to compliment
their impressive pitching and win the West.

Just a quick heads up, I’ll be silent for much of the next three days as I retire to the dungeon to prepare for a pair of fantasy baseball drafts this weekend. When I emerge, I should have formed solid teams that will thoroughly slay the competition.
Not writing about baseball cards during this time is [...]
