Some Topics covered so far:


"Framing" and how that is quantified. Who gets the credit? Is it the catcher, the pitcher, or something else entirely? How valuable is Molina, Perez, Lucroy, etc?


Teams explicitly mentioned as being sleeper candidates: Brewers, Mariners, and Padres.


Biggest divisional favorite: The Nationals


Potentially surprising challenger to a presumed favorite? The Padres to the Dodgers


Also very high on the Angels' playoff chances as well.


WS Picks: Rays, Cardinals, Nationals, and Tigers all being mentioned.
