N.L.West

The defending World Champions San Francisco Giants seem poised to repeat in the N.L.West.With a pitching staff headed by Tim Linecum,Matt Cain,Jonathan Sanchez and Top Prospect Madison Bumgarner the upside is great.Bullpen is okay with Sergio Romo having cut down on walks to have an outstanding 2010.Set up man Jeremy Affeltd needs bounce back year,Closer Brian Wilson great walk to k's ratio is young ,strong and will only get better.Infield defense adequate but will get by with this staff.Pat Burell and Aubrey Huff(both aging)will continue to supply most of the power,Adding Miguel Tehada,who at his age can still flat out hit will help with run production.Let's not forget sensational,young catcher Cody Ross whose potential can make him something special in the game of Baseball.I think Giants will make it look easier than last year.

The Colorado Rockies could be the surprise of the N.L.West.The pitching staff is headed by All Star Ubaldo Jimenez,good looking youngster Jhoulys Chacin and Jason Hammels should be a bright spot on this team.Bullpen of Matt Lindstrom,Rafael Betoncourt,aging but still very effective,Matt Belisle and closer Hudson Street are very capable of doing the job.Infield Todd Helton(can flat out hit),Eric Young(speedster needs at bats),Troy Tulowitzki(27 hr 95 rbi while missing 40 games)maybe the premier shortstop in baseball and Ian Stewart who can provide some power,is in good shape.With outfielders Carlos Gonzalez(power and speed)who has a great upside and Dexter Fowler(great speed)a raw talent who will improve,looks to be set up nicely.I believe if the pieces fall into place they can steal a wild card spot.

L.A.Dodgers pitching staff seems to be all set.Leading the way will be 22 year old All Star Clayton Krenshaw who will only get better.The rest of the staff Chad Billingsly,HIroki Kuroda and Jon Garland all have good command and give lots of innings.Vincente Padilla may not be ready until mid June.Bullpen should be O.K.with Carlos Monasterios,outstanding setup man Hong-Chic-Kuo whose walks to k's ratio is superb and could close if closer Jonathan Braxton falters.Outfielders Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier two youngsters ready to explode will supply most of the power.James Loney good average needs to have better power numbers for corner infielder.Infielders Casey Blake on downside and premier S.S. Rafael Furcal needs to stay healthy.We believe infield defense(other than Furcal)and no infield power will keep Dodgers out of playoffs.

Being in the weak N.L.West will keep the Arizona Diamondbacks interesting.Pitching staff with Jo Saunders(needs to excel innings),Ian kennedy(from Yanks),Daniel Hudson(could surprise)and the addition of Armando Galarraga who should improve in N.L.West will be adequate.Bullpen of Sam Demel(good control),David Hernandez,Juan Gutierrez and closer J.J.Putz can get the job done.Outfielder Justin Upton combines both speed and power(Super Star in the making)to go along with Chris Young who could be 30-30 player this year,make for an exciting young outfield.Infielders Kelly Johnson,Stephen Drew(good extra base pop) and the aging Melvin Mora(born to hit)lack power and defense.It will be fun to watch superstars in the making Young and Upton.Not enough talent to make post season.

The San Diego Padres have traded supersrar Adrian Gonzalez for good young prospects,but they will not be able to help team right now.Pitching staff is headed by 23 year old Mat Latos who had an outstanding rookie year ,and will only get better.Following Matos are Clayton Richard,Cory Luebke,Aaron Harang and others who simply do not impess me.Bullpen may be strong suit with Joe Thatcher,Luke Gregerson(setup) and closer Heath Bell.Newly aquired outfielder Cameron Maybin(once a number one draft pick)who has not been even close to living up to his potential,is hoping for a new start.Infield of Brad Hawpe,Orland Cabrera,Jason Bartlett and Chase Headly provides very little excitement,Hawpe will supply some power and Headly has some speed.The lack of quality starters and power make for a grim outlook .
