I was wondering when we were going to get one of these threads (of course, I was too lazy to start it myself). My predictions are going to be very similar to razzzorsharp's: Record: 80-82 Division: 3rd place (Reds, Cardinals) All-Stars: Ryan Braun, Jonathan Lucroy Disappointments: Fiers, Narveson, Estrada, Axford, Weeks. Surprises: Lucroy builds on his pre-injury 2012 and establishes himself as premier NL catcher. Wily Peralta establishes himself as a very solid #2 behind Gallardo and is a very outside ROY candidate. Michael Olmsted has a strong year and establishes himself as a setup man and potential closer option behind Axford, who will be decent but not regain his 2011 dominance. Ryan Braun has another MVP type year but loses to someone on a playoff team (maybe that's not really a surprise). World Series: Dodgers over Tigers.
