NL West

Moose · December 21, 2005

Not too sure yet. The Giants have Barry Bonds, so they will for sure contend, but they are just an arthritis away from joining the Rockies in the basement. The Padres aren't doing anything to improve themselves from last year. I think the D'backs have a chance, too but it's slim. The Rockies? 'Nuff said.

Dodgers win the division (Please Nomah, stay healthy), while the Giants finish 2nd. And the division won't be as amazing as last year.

I like San Diego's team. I think they have decent pitching, and if everything works out will be able to compete again.

Youk Of The Nation · December 21, 2005

The Rockies'll take it this year. Did they re-sign Helton yet?

Moose · December 21, 2005

He's locked up through 2010, I think.

Youk Of The Nation · December 21, 2005

Oh, I thought he was on free agency this year.

Right now, I think you've got to like the Dodgers and I guess I'll be tuning into a good amount of the games with Nomar on the team.

Sizzlin22 · December 21, 2005

The Dodgers are in pretty good shape in possibly the worst division ever.

This poll needs a 'who gives a s***' option

Soxfan1 · December 22, 2005

I think that Dodgers and Padres will be neck at neck. Bonds will go down and Woody Willams will be awesome.

i know it sounds greedy but i'd have preferred sanders to lofton in the OF. not too thrilled with picking up Tomko (great another ex-gnat) but i guess we'll have to see how that works out. he's been pretty s***** lately with the exception of '04.

Update:

NL West

109-95 (.534)

NL Central

124-121 (.506)

NL East

92-109 (.458)

AL East

105-94 (.528)

AL Central

100-100 (.500)

AL West

76-87 (.466)

Surprisingly, the NL West has the best winning percentage thus far. Hopefully, 90 wins is to win the division, not some ******** 82 wins like last year. The Dodgers are so underachieving because of the crappy bullpen.

I'm tired of the NL West bashing. I'm hoping no team finishes (yes, even the Giants, but I prefer them to finish last ) with less than 75 wins. Keep it up, NL West!

CrespoBlows · May 19, 2006

Arizona's going to land Willis, so they win the division.

yeszir · May 19, 2006

There's a division over there outside of Barry Bonds? You'd never know from watching ESPN.

Mr Crunchy · May 19, 2006

pawtucket would win that division

how does a complete stiff like brett tomko come to dominate that league?

honestly

i think san diego is the best team in that division but theyre always 1 or 2 guys away from getting over the hump

i think jake peavy is the best pitcher in that division not named schmidt

we dont see too much baseball from that area out here but from what ive witnessed id say that they have a leg up...

Jake Peavy is the best pitcher in that division bar none.

Tough call on the division. Colorado might have the best production from the corners (LF - Holliday, RF - Hawpe, 1B - Helton, 3B - Atkins) in the division and they finally got some pitchers that can keep the ball on the ground (I can't figure out why their system hasn't been stocked with sinkerballers for years now). I wouldn't be that surprised if the Rox can win the division.

Beckett95 · May 19, 2006

id have to say Brandon Webb's the best pitcher in the division, followed by Peavy, Schmidt and Penny.

Tomko's had a real good season so far, but i wouldnt expect that from him the whole year

KeepTheFaith1229 · May 19, 2006

Peavy is hands down the best pitcher in the division. This shouldn't even be debated.

Moose · May 19, 2006

I agree. Peavy is the best. 2nd is Webb.

Now for the closers, Fuentes is the best and Baez is the worst.

Youk Of The Nation · May 21, 2006

I think Cook and Francis would be considered much better if King and Mesa wouldnt screw up their performances so much.

ORS · May 21, 2006

Cook and Francis are both good pitchers. I don't look at W/L to evaluate a pitcher. For me it's ERA, K/9, WHIP, and GB/FB.

Beckett95 · May 28, 2006

Mark Bellhorn hit the longest homer in Petco Park history today, 438 feet. The record before his, was 436 feet by Albert Pujols.

Shows that Bellhorn's got more power than Pujols. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here is the thing, they are playing against each other, so obviously you won't have good or bad teams because they are all mediocre. I can see the D-Backs win it, but if the Dodgers make some moves at the deadline, it will be the Dodgers with Gagne possibly coming back soon.

monstah27 · May 29, 2006

it was close, between the dbacks and dodgers, webb is incredible so he got my edge. the dodgers have all of our old favorites, but I think they will die down come august.

One thing's for sure: the division won't be as atrociously bad as last year. This year, it will take 90 wins to win it.
