2016 BOLD PREDICTIONS

[AZ_]

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.

By modern rules, Mays would have become a free agent at 27.

At that point, he had 5 straight seasons above a 7.6 WAR and two seasons over 10.

Would have been an ARod deal.

Well you guys need to check page 2 on and see what everyone thinks of our Moldy Predictions @The Wizard of Moz lol

Great bump @sportscoach

Lot of people's predictions were close/correct

@The Wizard of Moz 's boy Tomlin should be watching this postseason from his couch though, since he's the worst SP on this team

 

[Chris]

A few were correct. A lot were not.

I'd give most credit to @sportscoach and his record prediction. Nearly spot on, and honestly predicting a 100+ win season is almost always going out on a limb. Props.

Rest of you, weak af.

 

[Chris]

Actually, Bimbo had a good streak prediction, too.

 

[Huber.]

Man, I nailed all of my predictions.

Mostly MOLD predictions, only a few BOLD. I never posted mine, but they centered around All-Star appearances for Dan Otero and Roberto Perez, the readdition of Bartolo Colon, Tyler Naquin becoming a stud and Jose Ramirez morphing into an MVP contender.
