With spring training in full swing, it is time for predictions to be made, teams to be put up on pedestals, and others to either stay in or be thrown into the basement.  

Predictions will be done by division going West to East, and starting with the American League and then going to the National League.

I am looking forward to this baseball season more than others in recent memory.  There are a lot of teams who took a step forward in the offseason, which is something that should provide heated races long into September.  There are also a lot of young stars that will be making an impact and be asked to play a huge role, which can make or break a team’s season.  

Will the Giants repeat as World Series champs?  

Will a traditional power win or will a team who has recently struggled find a way to win?  

Only time we tell, but right now is the best time of the season: The time to be bold and put your stamp on what you see for happening in 2011.  Here’s to another year of baseball.
