MLB Bold Perdictions

I have not posted on my blog in a while but here is the next episode... my MLB bold perdictions! I will make one bold prediction per division.
AL East: Ivan Nova will win the most games in this division.
Why this is bold: The AL East's pitching is very deep. Besides having CC Sabathia to compete with on his own team, he also has David Price, Matt Moore, Josh Beckett, Brandon Morrow, and Clay Bucholz in his division. This will make for a very interesting prediction.
AL Central: The Tigers will win less than 90 games.
Why this is Bold: The Tigers, with the addition of Prince Fielder, now has one of the best 1-2 punches with Miguel Cabrera. The one issue I have with the Tigers, and the thing that could cost them, is there infield defense. With the addition of Prince, there defensive talent at 1st base had diminished, which is saying a lot. Miguel Cabrera has had some trouble fielding ground balls this spring training. There infield defense is one of the worst.
AL West: The Texas Rangers will repeat.
Why this is Bold: The Angels have had a lot of buzz this offseason with the acquisitions of Albert Pujols and CJ Wilson, they will be the favorite this season from that division. But the Rangers are still up there in the race, but there offense will have to carry them due to the loss of CJ Wilson. They will still have a solid pitching staff but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't as good as it was last year.
NL East: It will take 96 wins to win the NL East.
Why this is bold: This division will be tough to win with the Phillies, Mets, Marlins, and Nationals all fighting for the division title and a bye in the 1-game playoff come October. This division could either be really good or really bad. The Phillies are a older team but they still have a lot of talent; the Mets do need some work but this division is wide open; The Marlins have a lot of talent... but so did the Heat and how did that turn out in their first year? The Nationals have a very good shot, I think. With lots of young talent and some solid vetrans, they would be my pick... if they can stay healthy.
NL Central: Mat Gamel and Aramis Ramirez will make up for Prince Fielder and Casey McGehee's numbers and help the Brewers repeat as Division champions.
Why this is bold: Going into this offseason the two biggest hitting talents in the division left, Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder. When that happend, the division swung wide open. With Mat Gamel getting the oppoutunity to play every day at first base he will have a lot to prove. He has been mashing everything in Triple-A, but hasen't had the same success in the show. He has had limited ABs in the show, but I think a full season will help him gain some confidence in his stroke. Aramis Ramirez is the other big piece that came to Milwaukee. He is a better fielder and hitter than McGehee will ever be. The infield defense will have a much needed upgrade this season, which will help them defend their division crown.
NL West: Clayton Kershaw will repeat as the Cy Young winner.
Why this is bold: The NL Cy Young race will be a very good race this year. With Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Yovani Gallardo, Zack Greinke, and Adam Wainwright to compete with for the Cy Young. This could be one of the better Cy Young races in recent history.

There you have it! Ty's Bold Predictions...
