Baseball Outlook 2010

There are a lot of eager eyes that will be focusing on the upcoming spring trainings in Arizona as well as Florida. With good reason that they are doing this there are a lot of story lines that will be playing out in the coming months as the games are being played. In the off season there has been a lot of trades done that has seen a lot of players going all over the country. While It is not possible to give you a detailed report about all 30 teams I will give you the highlights and the overall expectations that each team will be under as the new season begins in early April.

First let's start off by saying that Roy Halladay is finally at home with a team. The pitcher has landed at home with the Phillies. This is a deal that took almost as long as the season to make happen but it finally did, the Phillies I say congrats on your new toy. Now as is always the case in New York when it comes to the Mets there is drama that involves a main roster player. Carlos Beltran decided to go and have knee surgery without consulting with the team beforehand. This has led to the Mets family being upset with Beltran to the point there has been talk of trading him to another team or sending him to the minors to live out his days.

Now lets talk about the other teams and their expectations. There are not a lot of sleeper teams that are out there that will cause a whole lot of surprises this season. Many of the teams that are out there are not in the position that they will be able to make a full fledged run towards the post season. One of the teams that I expect to see in the post season and maybe even in the World Series are the Colorado Rockies. This is a team that has a lot of potential that will provide them a chance to see their way to the league championship.

New York Yankees are a true inspiration to the whole country. This shows that any team that has a unlimited amount of money and is more shady than a mobster can buy all the talented players and go to the World Series. I am not a huge Yankees fan simply because I don't really see where a team that has all good players can be a inspiration. Now show me a team that has no real players who fight their way to the top and I will get behind them 100% and support them all the way.
