I can't recall a season that I've been more amped to see and to follow all the stats of all the players ....I have always been content to watch the local teams on my regular comcast cable....primarily the Marlins and the Rays plus any ESPN or MLB network action but this year I am getting the whole MLB package for the 150.00 or so bucks so I can game hop like the Baseball Degenerate that I am. Here are a few of the guys I follow :

Just wish the O's would grab a Cobb or a Lynn. Their payroll is currently a lot lower than last year. One of those guys gives them a Wild Card chance.....
@CdnOsfan yeah ...the Machado situation seems to have frozen them a bit.... and they are kinda reeling from Chris Davis and Mark Trumbo under performance last year....Schoop though is a beast....& Dylan Bundy is there main squeeze but pitching is their achillies heel for sure. The Yanks could certainly feast on their pitching.
I am a little more excited for the Os this year than some other fans. I think they have a real chance at a wild card spot. The lineup is still potent and the bullpen is strong. Schoop, machado, jones, Davis, Trumbo, Mancini, and Beckham are all decent or better hitters. Hays and Sisco look like promising young players. Brach, givens and oday is a great back end of the bullpen and then Britton will be back at some point. The rotation is the only soft spot. Even there I think Bundy and gausman are a good top 2 and then cashner and Tillman are decent starters if Tillman has a bounce back year. The fifth spot is up for grabs but I’d like to see Cortes get it.

The O's can hit with anybody thats for sure..... I hope they are competitive and land in a wild card or better.
That Kershaw superfractor is just awesome. Congrats ! Big baseball fan here and my Dodgers should be good. I am glad we didn't sign Yu. Interesting to see Cody's 2nd here. Is 40-50 home runs realistic? I am hoping yes.
@GoDodgersFan Cody with a full season should crack 40 without much problem..... he missed how many games last year? 30 or more......Kershaw is like a career of Sandy Koufax domination....Koufax only lasted til he was 30 but had 4-5 years of sick stuff...Kershaw is best pitcher LA has EVER had..... IMO....IF Puig can get his ego involved in a regular Monday night game and not just the playoffs he could have a break out year numbers wise.....24- 75rbi seems light for his talent.
Yes my team will probably stink but I’m ready for warm weather and some Baseball.
I am excited for the Braves this year - especially Acuna.
Next year will be the fun year watching studs in our farm system debut and actually have a competitive team (wait I think I have said that the last couple of seasons...
)
As a NY Giants fan I have been ready for baseball since the World Series. Nice bunch of current guys you PC. Really like the Sevvy auto.
Always look forward to the new season. Can't wait to see who the breakout player will be this year. You know, the one no one thought that he would be the one, catching all of us by surprise. There is always at least one that flies under the radar till the season gets going.
You don't own that Sevvy auto, though, correct? My favorite of his cards hands down, even over the Bowman Chrome XRC. The Heritage Auto RC is a close second.
Very much looking to the season. So many fascinating teams and players. Will be a great one for sure.

@DM23HOF ~ no, I wont pay 1k for this card....thats the asking price.....Had he won 20 games last year I would look for one...he needs to break through with a dominant year and with consistency...he's close. He could hit 20 w's this year... That asking price has priced in a 2.20 ERA and 22-5 record....gotta see it.
