2016 BOLD PREDICTIONS

[The Wizard of Moz]

I can never bet against my teams. I won't even lay money against the Cavs on the second night of a B2B when they're favored (which I view as free money) because I don't want to root against them.

If I make that bet I'd want Bauer to perform worse than Tomlin. Like I said I want Bauer to win 32 games this year.

We'll see what team is going to give him more time in the future by the end of 2017.

Even if he produces exactly the same as he did last year, and doesn't improve, there will be a long line of teams willing to pay him a bunch of money whenever he hits free agency.

Did I miss the news that Bauer doesn't have to go through arbitration, and is now a free agent after this season?

Didn't even click when I read Mar's post, we still have him for a while.

He never has arm problems, is 26, and is under team control through 2021...why would we give up on him in 2017, even if he has a poor season...

Some baffling stuff being said in here on Opening Day...

I got moldy predictions for days. I'm with Moz in saying I hope he wins 20 games this year.

 

[Ohio]

With Game 7 of the World Series tied and the Indians with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, Lindor singles and then steals second. Brantley steps up and calls his shot to center field, but instead bunts, allowing Lindor to make it to home to win the Series.

Lindor goes from 2nd to home on a bunt???

 

[DJTJ]

Why does everyone want to predict a game seven?

Indians in five over the Nats.

Willie Mayes Hayes did it

The news of him developing a splitter is not going to help him in this regard.

 

[Huber.]

As if he needed another pitch type to not master.

 

[Real Deal]

Dont really want to go into predicting slash lines, but I do see 101 wins and a World Series. I know we added EE, gained an healthy Brantley, but Lindor is the best Indian. Since his call-up this team took off, as long as him and Tito are together, I don't ever see a losing season, that's another prediction. We're simply set up for greatness and multiplying.

Willie Mayes Hayes did it

Man think about what Willie Mayes would make today if he was 31 and a free agent.

i know this is way off topic, but he was the best defensive outfielder of all time, bar none (although Griff was awfully good too) .

Coming off a .310 49hr year with 20 stolen bases and 140 RBI's.

He is way better than Mike Trout and that is not an insult to Trout.

I think if someone like Mays existed today he would be worth 10 years for a total of $400 million.
