With pitchers and catchers reporting to spring training, the time has come to make a new thread on the upcoming MLB season!
This is going to be the most intriguing season ever, especially since a certain Michael J. Fox movie from over a quarter-century ago predicted that the Chicago Cubs would win the World Series in 2015. Perhaps the hiring of Joe Maddon as manager and the team's offseason acquisitions may play a role in that?
Meanwhile, the Giants will try to repeat as World Series champs themselves, and it's safe to say that they are the most dominant team in this half of the 2010s.
Over in the AL, many people still can't get over the shock of witnessing one of the greatest postseason runs by the underdog Royals. Even though they ultimately failed to win the big prize, they still gave us an October to remember, going undefeated in the first three rounds of the postseason.
And, of course, the question in New York is, will A-Rod be welcomed with open arms? Without Derek Jeter to partner with in the infield, it's pretty much up in the air.
PLAY BALL!!!
