Eric’s 2011 MLB Predictions

Like most of my fellow 4th and Home colleagues, I’m picking Boston to win the AL this year.  Utley’s injury makes the NL race a little more wide open and I’m going with the Brewers.   I’m also predicting that a MLB star will wind up on reality TV.

Top 5 Bold Predictions for 2011:

1) After another run in with the law, Miguel Cabrera appears on next season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.

2) Carlos Gonzalez joins the 30/30 club

3) Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Cliff Lee, pitch back to back to back no hitters.  Cole Hamels pitches a shut out the next day and is boo’d by Philles fans.

4) Bob Nutting finally caves in and sells the Pittsburgh Pirates to partnership consisting of  Mario Lemieux and Mark Cuban.  Pittsburgh rejoices.

5) Neftali Feliz starts the season as the Rangers closer, but ends up in the starting rotation.  He posts 10 wins and 20 saves.
