NL East Preview (Otherwise Titled: Nothing to See Here)

Spring Training is underway and in a game where anything can happen, and does; since the 2000 season the League has crowned 11 different World Series Champions and why should 2017 be any different with a new winner joining a growing fraternity.

I will spend the next few weeks looking at the 6 divisions and potential playoff match-ups as the should be holiday of Opening Day approaches.  While we may see a few surprise roster changes as spring breaks that I may have failed to address don’t expect any to make such a difference that it changes the flow of preseason predictions anymore than injuries, call ups and flukes will do to derail these columns by mid-July.  In so many words, I have about as much chance predicting winners as you would throwing darts at an MLB map.

The National League East has one of the best pitching rotations on paper, arguably by some the best hitter in the game after a monster 2015 and a fairly mediocre 2016 had detractors laughing, and finally three teams in various stages of rebuilding.
