N.L. EAST

Sounds like the Phillies have ordered their World Series rings already.I guess with a pitching staff of Roy Halliday,Cliff Lee,Roy Oswalt,Cole Hammels and Joe Blanton they have good reason to be optimistic.Ryan Howard,Chase Utley
should provide enough run support for this staff.Jimmy Rollins needs to have a comeback year and 3rd base could be an issue.The outfield without Jason Werth(signed with Washington)will be much weaker offensively and defensively.The bullpen,although not strong will not be overworked with their starters going deep.So getting to closer Brad Lidge should not be a problem.So I guess We are not going out on a limb picking Phillies.

With just one contact we can take care of all your ticket needs in Boston.

Atlanta Braves starting pitching is the key.Led by Tommy Hanson along with Derek Lowe and Tim Hudson should make life easier for suspect bullpen.The aquisition of Dan Uggla(via trade) will provide much needed power to a young lineup.Martin Prado who filled in nicely last season at 2nd base will now be asked to play left field.We believe this young man will adjust very nicely and along with heralded rookie (2010) Jason Heyward and Nate McLouth, it should be a fun outfield to watch.The infield with Uggla,Alex gonzalez, aging 3rd baseman Chipper Jones and young Freddie Freeman will have to play good "d" in order to stay out of bullpen.We think Braves have enough to stay in Wild Card hunt.

The Florida Marlins will surprise some people in the N.L.East.Good looking young prospects like Mike Stanton and Logan Morrison will provide some much needed outfield power.Omar Infante aquired from Braves will give infield a little more punch to go along with Hanley Ramirez and 1st baseman Gaby Sanchez.The young pitching seem primed to make a name for themselves.Josh Johnson,Anibal Sanchez,Ricky Nolasco and others are joined by veteran Javier Vazquez who should perform better in theN.L.Their bullpen with Clay Hensley,Ryan Webb, and Michael Dunn(needs to cut down walks) should get them to closer Leo Nunez,who should get better.Thinking is that this young bunch gained much needed experience last season ,and will be in Wild Card chase.

The New York Mets well what can you say.Starting with ownership being in financial trouble and often injured Johan Santana possible return in mid season, they seem to be headed in wrong direction.Carlos Beltran's health is always an issue.The center fielder needs to be a big part of this floundering team.Can David Wright equal last years power numbers after 2 down years?Will Santana be ready in June or is his season over?Can Pitcher R.A. Dickey repeat his career year of 2010 at age 36?Will team overcome ownership's turmoil?Bright spot is outfielder Angel Pagan who provided some power and speed after finding spot in outfield,he should steadily improve.As you can see there are a lot of question marks.

We have tickets to all events click below for details.

Word is that Washington Nationals young pitching star Stephen Strasburg may be ready sometime late 2011.Our thinking here is why risk it and allow him more time and progress slowly.The free agent signing of Jayson Werth(overpaid)will not help a team that needs too much.Young,promising talent(1st pick overall)Bryce Harper will most likely begin the year in triple a ball.Management says he will not be brought up to Majors this season,and We hope that this so.Pitching staff with aging Livan Hernandez and Jason Marquis leading the way just won't get it done.Bullpen may be an even bigger concern.The closer of the future for team  may be Drew Storen who had mixed showings late in 2010.Storen had great S.O.numbers but needs to work on control to cut back on walks.Future is not in 2011.
