Who is the Suprise Team This Year?

[tunit213]

I wanted to get everyones opinion on whom they feel the suprise team will be in the National and American league this year, such as the Rays last year. I expect the Giants and Royals to do much better.

Reds

Marlins

wouldn't you need to see the teams in action in the reg season to determine this

I will repeat what I have been saying since 1979 in case you haven't heard me say it before.

This is the year of the PIRATES!!!!!!

Royals.....

definitely seems like the Reds have a good shot at surprising. Very strong and young pitching staff.

I'll take SF. I just have a feeling they will be competitive in the West, and may be playing meaningful games in August. They have great pitching and some young hitters that need to provide offense, but I think they have a legitimate shot at making a run in the West.

I wanted to get a feel of what everyone thinks. I am sure these teams will be dogs for the most part in the start of the year. Maybe a good way to add to the bankroll.

marlins and rangers

royals should be able to fight their way out of the basement, only question is who will be there then? detroit, two years removed from the w.s.?

reds as long as their starting pitching holds up, got some good young talent in the field

rangers, can they finally rely on some pitching? they can put up runs for days, but if your pitchers give up 12 runs it doesnt really matter if you score 11

those are my sleepers

Casting my vote for the Royals as well.

Not a true surprise but don't count out Ozzie in Chicago. The White Sox have a solid pitching staff and can score runs. Should easily best the 77.5 wins in the futures bet.
