Who will win the NL West?

[iFroggy]

I think the Giants will come up big again, although the Dodgers are close and may be able to push them.

I voted for the Dodgers... I'd love to see the Diamondbacks make another run for the World Series like they did in their first few seasons, but I don't think they have what it takes any more.

Look for Shawn Green to have a rebound season for LA.

I forgot who I voted for but whoever it was, I'm sure there was a good reason for me picking them. Most of the times, this league is pretty close and either LA or the Ginats should come out on top. Then again, maybe Colorado because of them getting Hampton. I can't see the Padres or D-Backs going anywhere right now though.

This is the most confusing division in baseball, no powerhouse or real favorite. The only thing I can say is the Padres won't be on the top. In other words, any of the four others could finish on top, although I doubt the Rockies (pitching, Hampton and Neagle aren't going to have very good years) D-Backs (age and frailty) will end up on the top. That leaves the Dodgers and Giants. Every year I can't really see the Giants win the division and they still are always at the least respectable. In the end, I think the Dodgers will struggle with their offense and the Giants will be on top of the NL West once again.

I agree with Brandon. This league is screwy! Throughout the year any one of these teams could be in first place. But overall I will have to go with the Giants, just a gut feeling.

[Wedge231]

I have to agree. As long as they stay healthy and get solid pitching they can beat out LA and the aging Arizona D-backs. But if Randy Johnson might help out the D-backs alot and they could always get 1st. You never know, because they have some solid hititng there.

LA or Diamondbacks on this and i think i'll give LA the green light since they have alot younger players than the diamondbacks.....that is wats holding them back

[Wedge231]

Yes. The Diamondbacks need some more young talent. They have tons of veterans over there.

You guys are crazy, Hampton and Neagle won't have good years, now you have to be drugged son, Hampton is 5-0, neagle is 3-1, Hampton wil go 22-5 and Neagle will go 18-6, as for Astacio? I can see 18-7 or 19-9 that's how good he can be. The Rockies will win the west kids.
