10. Manny wont be hrut forever, he will be back and the offense will get better.
9. Familiar faces returned to the bullpen, Belisario and Kuo have returned and have stabilized the shaky bullpen.
8. Ned will make a trade and get the team better.
7. The giants starting pitching cannot keep up there torrid pace, zito 4-0? wont last, also the offense wont keep producing like they have been.
6. The padres will not be a first place team throughout the season, adrian gonzales will be traded and San Diego will fall into last place.
5. Arizona is to young, to many strike out hitters and with no Webb this team is vulnerable.
4. The Rockies pitching isnt as good as everyone says, no frances, no Dela Rosa no closer. The offense isnt what it was last year.
3. with the slow start and the owners divorce, noone expected the dodgers to be able to compete, there is no pressure on them.
2.The young guns, Andre Ethier is having and MVP type of start, Kemp is doing his thing, Martin seems to be back to his old all star self, Billingsley seems to be turning it on lately, Kershaw is only 22 and a great pitcher, Broxton hasnt allowed a run to score all season. put that together and its trouble for the NL west
1. The dodgers have experience, 2 time defending west champs, 2 straight trips to the NLCS. The giants, Padres, D-backs and Rockies dont have that.
there you have it, I believe the dodgers will win the west by 5 games this year. agree? disagree? share your thoughts.
