Who will be the first to win a World Series ring?

[mrwallace2ku]

You say that like Papelbon is somehow an asset to the Nationals

LOLZ....We'll find out what the kid can do THIS YEAR.

Why? Don't we already know what he can do based on his last four seasons?

 

[Omar 382]

what are Goldy's/Dbacks' ?

In that same span? 26th in WAR and 16th in xFIP.

I can't believe some people can watch baseball their whole life while thinking like this

 

[Erie Warrior]

I went with Bryant. The Cubs are looking pretty good. The Nats are kind of a mess.

C'mon now....I'm certainly no stickler for sabremetrics and the like....but you gotta admit, some of those stats can be rather telling, amirite?

I guess the way you think...it's only interesting to you if those numbers/graphs/charts etc. benefited your team somehow?

That's friggin weird, dude.

 

[calsnowskier]

but I said nothing about their talent, or that of their teammates...did I?
That's something you said.

I also said said Goldy would win one 1st...but he wasn't on the list.

So you think the Giants and Diamondbacks will pull off a blockbuster this year? You must anticipate Belt getting hurt if you have Goldy getting traded to the Giants.

Fair enough, but I dont necessarily agree with your prediction.

Actually I see Goldy winning one in Arizona...but if Trout were to get traded (not to the giants) he could get a ring 1st.

If the cubs don't win this season they are in trouble, they have a very old rotation...

Washington has 2 big pitching prospects coming up, and will clearly be a good pitching team for the next few seasons... So Harper, is on the team with the most potential IMO...

 

[Bolts]

Manuel Margot, future star of the Padres.

You don't think the Pads will keep him?

Not with Dusty managing.

^we have a winner^

 

[ElTexan]

I know I'm biased, but have you seen the Cubs lineup this year? The toughest thing for the Cubs this year is to bat bomber, Schwarby, 2nd, 5th, 6th? It's a great problem to have.

108 yrs and counting since they won it all.....and 71 yrs since their last appearance in a WS.

Good Luck.

Hey, I put future star of the Padres in there to keep from having that joke used against me!

Bryant

 

[The Q]

I went with Bryant solely because his team is easily the closest right now.

And it's hard to predict much with teams outisde of maybe 1-2 years.

This might be harpers best shot for a few years with Stras likely leaving.

I know Giolito is close to ready as well, but it's hard to expect him to replace Stras from day 1.
