Before you tell me I'm absolutely crazy (which I may be...lol), please keep in mind that these are occurrences that I wouldn’t expect to happen more then 20 percent of the time (in most cases, the chances are a lot less then that).
So, what did I predict for this season? Let's take a look:
1. Joel Zumaya saves at least 30 games.
2. Nick Markakis leads the league in OBP.
3. Derek Jeter will hit below .280.
4. Frank Francisco will pick up at least 40 saves while holding the closer’s job all season.
5. Brad Lidge will save 30 games or less.
6. Edwin Encarnacion will hit at least 35 HR.
7. Erik Bedard will win at least 18 games.
8. Willy Taveras will hit 5 HR.
9. Ichiro scores less then 90 runs.
10. Rickie Weeks hits .290 or better.
11. Carlos Beltran hits at least 45 HR.
12. Jose Ceda saves at least 25 games.
13. Troy Tulowitzki drives in at least 120 RBI.
14. Zack Greinke strikes out at least 220 batters.
15. Randy Johnson strikes out at least 200 batters.
16. Adam LaRoche drives in at least 120 RBI.
17. Ryan Doumit hits at least 28 HR.
18. Ian Snell posts an ERA under 4.00.
19. Rafael Furcal steals at least 40 bases.
20. Scott Kazmir wins 10 games or less.
21. Yovani Gallardo posts a WHIP of 1.19 or better.
22. Coco Crisp hits at least .300.
23. Jacoby Ellsbury steals 70 bases.
24. Prince Fielder leads the league in RBI.
25. Clayton Kershaw strikes out 190 batters or more.
26. The Texas Rangers win the AL West.
27. Rick Ankiel outperforms Carlos Quentin.
28. Cameron Maybin not only plays well, but avoids being demoted this season.
29. Howie Kendrick will be a Top Five Fantasy 2B.
30. Kenshin Kawakami is the most successful Japanese rookie pitcher...ever.
So, what do you think? Which is the craziest of them all? Which do you think could actually happen?
