2008 Division Previews, arizona diamondbacks, baseball, colorado rockies, los angeles dodgers...

Your NL West "Preview"

Question: Anybody else buy the MLB Extra Innings package? They're eventually gonna update that schedule with games, right? Our cable system is still showing nothing ... and the season starts Monday, doggone it!

Anyway, off to the NL West.

1. Arizona Diamondbacks. We don't think the Pythagorean people are going to have a problem with them this year.
2. Los Angeles Dodgers. This should be the one year in his contract in which Torre stays awake.
3. Colorado Rockies. We know it seems strange to say a team that just went to the World Series is one year away, but ... we think they're a year away.
4. San Diego Padres. We will always love the guy, but ... Jim Edmonds is the impact offseason bat? Really?
5. San Francisco Giants: Easiest pick in all of baseball. Oh, and don't ask about Bonds.

That's ours; jumbled division. Yours?

Tomorrow: The National League East.

This division could really go any way (other than San Fran) I can see all 4 teams in any position and its not gonna surprise me. I thought the Rockies were about 3 years away last year, and I still think they're not a playoff caliber team, But we'll see.

1. LA
2. Colorado
3. Arizona
4. Padres
4. Giants

Another reason to get DirecTv, along with the Big Ten Network.

Extra Innings is going to have dual feeds (both teams' telecast), too, I hear.

@Jefferson Short Bus: Yes. I would have let Mighty Joe Young slide by. STP was a post San Diego version of that band.

I would put LA in first if anyone in that organization had the sense to play Ethier, LaRoche, and Young everyday. Instead they'll start Juan Pierre, Nomar Garciapara, and Jeff Kent...so, yeah 2nd place sounds about right.
