We have our first glimpse of baseball circa 2010 today as Kevin Youkilis and some prospects took some hacks and the scribes noted who has bulked up (Clay Buchholz) and who has trimmed down (Daisuke Matsuzaka).But even though the news is welcomed when our yard is still buried with snow, none of it matters because Baseball Prospecutus has updated its screwy projections for the season.
Although, they still have the Nationals finishing under .500, we like where BP is heading: a Red Sox division championship with the Phillies (always predicted to win the NL East) getting closer to the number of wins we expect from them.
But most interesting is what the statisticians see in store for the NL Central: a three-way tie for first place among the White Sox, Tigers and Twins at 80-82.
Christine and I would love to see that, although we'd settle for seeing our lawn again.
