Our best guess at 2002’s winners and losers.
Yes, it’s that time of year, when the opportunity to be oh, so very wrong about the upcoming baseball season presents itself.
Predictions are part of this gig, so here’s my take on what we’ll see in the next six months in the National League. Take these with a grain of salt, though.

I ran across a piece at the Baltimore Sun Web site, read through it, then spent two hours on an exercise bike and at the driving range to try to calm down. It hasn’t worked, so I want to run through this piece, and begin to scratch the surface of what’s wrong in Baltimore.

Today was supposed to be my AL preview, with the NL following tomorrow. I’m pushing those back a day each to Friday and Saturday because I want to run through the used-car salesman’s “Town Hall Meeting” from Tuesday afternoon.
Well, not just that. First, let’s deal with the announcement by Bud Selig that the owners will not lock the players out through the World Series. This was a shameless, transparent attempt to curry favor with fans and media, an announcement with absolutely no meaning whatsoever.
The Seattle Mariners are currently one of baseball’s most successful franchises, playing in a beautiful, expensive stadium they didn’t pay for, and fielding a well-funded team that won 116 games last season.

The end of the short trip to Arizona found me in Mesa, at HoHoKam Park, watching the Cubs and the A’s.
