So, there are still lots of transactions to be made before next season, but I thought I'd run a sim with rosters current as of today on my XBox. I don't put much stock in this, but it's fun to see what the computer spits out. Here are the results:
Significant long-term or season-ending injuries that would have an effect on the standings:
Mike Hampton
Bruce Chen
Jason Varitek
Barry Zito
Carlos Silva
Doug Mirabelli
NL MVP: Bonds .354, 42HR, 122 RBI, 136 R
NL Cy Young: P.Martinez 17-7, 1.85 ERA
