2009 Mlb Era Leaders
MLB Stats Leaders at end of 2009?
Who do you think will be the dominators of the major MLB stat cateogries (HR’s, RBI’s, BA avg., hits, SB’s, wins, ERA, strikeouts)? I’m predicting:
HR: 1) Albert Pujols (STL) 2) Mark Texeira (NYY) 3) Adrian Gonzalez (SA)
RBI:1) Prince Fielder (MIL) 2) Mark Texeira (NYY) 3) Albert Pujols (STL)
BA Avg.: 1) David Wright (NYM) 2) Ichiro Suzuki (SEA) 3) Victor Martinez (CLE)
Hits: 1) Ichiro Suzuki (SEA) 2) Victor Martinez (CLE) 3) Aaron Hill (TOR)
SB: 1) Carl Crawford (TB) 2) BJ Upton (TB) 3) Jacoby Ellsbury (BOS)
Wins: 1) Roy Halladay (TOR) 2) Zack Greinke (KC) 3) Kevin Slowey (MIN)
ERA: 1) Zack Greinke (KC) 2) Joe Weaver (LAA) 3) Jose Cueto (CIN)
Strikeouts: 1) Tim Lincecum (SF) 2) Javier Vazquez (ATL) 3) Justin Verlander (DET)
Who do you think will lead these categories after the entire baseball season is over? Oh, btw, who do you guys think will win the World Series or who will even be in it?
I predict Dodgers V. Yankees; Yankees winning in game 7 by a slim margin
HR: 1) Ryan Howard 2) Albert Pujols 3) Mark Texeira 4) Prince Fielder 5) Adrian Gonzalez
RBI: 1) Jason Bay 2) Prince Fielder 3) Albert Pujols 4) Evan Longoria 5) Mark Texeira
BA: 1) Joe Mauer 2) Albert Pujols 3) Miguel Cabrera 4) David Wright 5) Ichiro
Hits: 1) Ichiro 2) David Wright 3) Miguel Cabrera 4) Justin Morneau 5) Victor Martinez
SB: 1) Carl Crawford 2) Jacoby Ellsbury 3) Chone Figgins 4) Michael Bourn 5) BJ Upton
Wins: 1) Roy Halladay 2) Chad Billingsley 3) CC Sabathia 4) Tim Lincecum 5) Kevin Slowey
ERA (I’m assuming you mean among starters. Btw its Jered Weaver and Johnny Cueto): 1) Roy Halladay 2) Johan Santana 3) Tim Lincecum 4) Zack Grienke 5) Felix Hernandez
Strikeouts: 1) Tim Lincecum 2) Johan Santana 3) Roy Halladay 4) Jon Lester 5) Felix Hernandez
I think the AL playoff teams will be the Yankees, Twins, Angels and Red Sox (wild card).
I think the NL playoff teams will be the Phillies, Cardinals, Dodgers, and the Brewers (wild card).
As for the playoffs I see Yankees-Sox in the ALCS and Dodgers-Cardinals in the NLCS with the World Series being played between the Yankees and Cardinals. Ultimately I believe the Cards will come out on top (assuming Carpetner remains healthy, and I think they’re gonna land Holliday).
