I never vote in the poll this early, I usually wait until after spring training to make my choice. But I'm just gonna say F it this year and vote for the Yankees right now.

I think Cleveland is due in 2018.

I'll pick Atlanta in 2020

I picked them in 2017, and they were the best team overall IMO.

Hah, nah, the Yankees went a lot farther than I expected them too. But now I know Judge and the boys are legit, bring on 2018!

I think the Astros have a great chance to repeat, so much young talent on that team...if they can shore up the bullpen a bit more they will win another 100 games...

I'm excited to see who follows the Astro's "process". Padres are a good candidate with a cheap as **** owner.

It'll be interesting to see what happens with Yu Darvish. The Rangers traded him because they could not agree on a contract and were afraid of the bidding war with other teams. I heard somewhere near $30 million per year for 6 yrs. I wonder what the interest in him now will be with those final two starts. Those two probably cost him millions.

Yes, but like many World Series champs, the season after can be extra tiring and meh. Just look at the Cubs. Also, I think Keuchel is past his prime, I can see him disappointing next season. Actually, what I mean to say is whoever gets first pick in fantasy should definitely take Keuchel.

Looked to me like the Tigers already are well into the "Astros" process. They cleared house this year and took in some great prospects. They even won a bunch of good games after clearing the roster

Don't forget Jeter is gonna blow up the Marlins (once again).

IMO he's going to be a terrible front office guy. I mean he admits he doesn't even watch baseball. How do you form a winning team and not watch baseball?

The yankees will have that existing core and the bump from a new manager in the clubhouse. Whitesox are at least 2 years out.

I was tempted to pick Nats.

Depends on if they use regular season baseballs or the playoff abominations next year

If the rumors of Darvish tipping pitches away by arm/glove movement are true then those are easily fixable. He lost money in this World Series but is still a good pitcher for the regular season and perhaps some throw away games in the post season( being up 2-0 or 3-0).

If the Yankees can get some better starting pitching, the title is theirs.

Pleased to see 2 new Dodger fans in the poll! I'm hoping we trying to keep Darvish and maybe get a discount with his value dropping a bit. Tipping should really be an easy thing to fix. We definitely need another starter to remain a top contender. The young guys like Buehler, Stewart, Alvarez are not there yet.

Glad to see the Forsythe exercise. I think the Dodgers have a ton of big contracts coming off the books but I hope we don't waste it on a Stanton. Don't want that contract of his unless Miami eats a lot of it.

I'm not really seeing a lot of holes we need to fill other than pitching. Resigning Morrow, Darvish, Watson, Cingrani, etc.

Not if 1) Price is his old self, 2) Sale actually lasts the whole season and 3) the Sox score more runs.

Roy Halladay's plane crashed, not yet confirmed if he was flying, though seems likely.

Right now you guys are sitting at $185 million for 12 guaranteed contracts.

I think this data is old as Yu is not on that roster.
