Spring Training Starts Today

Before Spring Training Starts today, I will make my picks for the season. Yes, I know that this is way too early and the signing of Manny Ramirez will probably alter some of these selections, but the Godfather knows all. The Godfather's picks:

AL East
Yankees- how the hell won't they win with all that money they spent this offseason?
Red Sox- what is Penny's mindset? Will he play the entire season?
Devil Rays- Yes, they have some nice pieces in place and made some good signings (Burrell) but the Yankees reloaded and the Red Sox are always tough
Blue Jays- Where are you Joe Carter?
Orioles- Should have traded Brian Roberts for some younger players. Markakis is a good player, but what else do the Orioles have?

AL Central
Indians- Grady Sizemore is a fantastic player, but will Cliff Lee have the same type of season as last year?
Tigers- What happened last year? They were supposed to win it all with their amazing lineup. They will compete for the wild card this year
Twins- quick name three players from the Twins? Yea I can't either, but they are fundamentally sound and with Justin Morneau they are going to be good again
White Sox- Will Ozzie finally go off the deep end?
Royals- Added some players decent players (see Mike Jacobs) but it won't keep them out of the cellar

AL West
Angels- Must stop playing the Red Sox in the playoffs, but with Vlad, these guys are real good
A's- Moneyball will be at play again and with Holliday, the A's will compete
Mariners- Griffey Jr coming back home is a great story, but it won't matter much for the M's
Rangers- Hamilton had a great year last year. Too bad they couldn't have kept Volquez as well

NL East
Phillies- Still have all the key parts and with Jaime Moyer back (yes he's gonna play until he's 60), they should win the East
Mets- Have they solved their bullpen issues? I love Wright, but will Reyes revert back to two years ago
Braves- The east loves old pitchers and with Tom Glavine back, the Braves will, well, what year is it, 1993, right?
Marlins- Young team with talent, but when are they going to keep a player for more than 3 years?
Nats- Thank you Adam Dunn for at least giving DC fans a reason to go to games

NL Central
Cubs- 101 years without a World Series will end this year. Only question, will Bradley make it a full season without any outbursts
Brewers- Oh CC, if only the Brewers would have offered a few more Brats. Still a young team with Ryan Braun will be competitive
Cardinals- Pujolz and Ludwick will have to carry this team
Astros- How many will Carlos Lee hit over the tracks this year?
Reds- Can Edison Volquez pitch every game?
Pirates- I miss Andy Van Slyke and the Buccos. Oh wait, the Pirates still have a team?

NL West
Giants- Why? Because no one else is good. At least the Giants have pitching- old and young...and a HOF hitter in left field- no, not Manny, Fred Lewis- yea right.
Diamondbacks- Solid pitcing with Webb and young players. Will they get back to where they were two years ago
Dodgers- Probably will finish 1st if Manny signs, but rotation is anchored by...Chad Billingsley and Randy Wolf
Rockies- If Larry Walker was paroling right field this would be different. They were in the WS two years ago. How far they have fallen
