So I have a weekly column in my college paper and this weeks column is going to be ET's 2008 MLB picks. So here they are, let me know what you think. AL EAST-THE SOX- Most of the key players of the 07 World Championship team are coming back. Manny is finally focused and has been busting his butt this offseason. I look for him to put up MONSTER numbers this year. The only real question mark is the Sox starting rotation, which I dont think is that big of a problem. I think the Sox will use Tavarez for the beginning of the season and then he will be put in the pen for spot work and rookie Clay Buchholz will take over. AL CENTRAL-DETROIT TIGERS - With new 3rd baseman Miguel Cabrera and starting pitcher Dontrelle Willis the Tiggers have one of the best offenses in the Majors. There big question is the pen. Todd Jones is not getting any younger and Zumaya will be out until at least the All-Star break I can see some troubles there. AL WEST - LA ANGELS - The Angels have one of the best outfields in the game with Torii Hunter, Vlad Guerrero (as long as he stays health with his hand), Garrett Anderson, and Gary Mathews. There pitching is also great. I look for John Lacky and Jared Weaver to have great years and K-Rod is always scary coming out of the pen. AL WILD CARD - CLEVELAND INDIANS - For the first time in years the Yanks will not make the playoffs, and I am not, not picking them because I hate them. i am not picking them because the Indians are a better team. They were only one win away from the World Series last year. Grady Sizemore, Big CC, Fausto Carmona are the real deal. NL EAST - NY METS - Now I know they choked big time last year but they made a MAJOR upgrade to their pitching staff this offseason with the signing of Santana. Petey looks like he is going to be healthy for the first time in a couple years and Jose Reyes and Jared Wright are two of the best young players in baseball. NY CENTRAL - BREW CREW - Prince Fielder, JJ Hardy, Ben Sheets they are all great players. I look for Derek Turnbow to also have a great year. I just like this team for some reason. NL WEST - SD PADRES - I look for Jake Peavy to have another stellar year. This year they will not miss the playoffs. I dont really know much about the NL West to be truthful so this is just a wild guess. NL WILD CARD - CHICAGO CUBS - With the addition of Kosuke Fukudome I look for the Cubbies to make the NL Wild Card. I also like Kerry Wood in the closer role (if he can stay healthy). Soriano is also a baller. I look for good things from the Northsiders this year. Those are my picks. Let me know what you guys think. MUCH REPECT. ONLY LIVE THE MAFIA. RESPECT/LOYALTY/FAMILY. REPEAT IN 08/RICE IN 09
