<br />
The Indians have hole all throughout the roster, as they were near the bottom of the league last season in both offense and pitching. With that in mind, any area that the team looks set at could also potentially be a trade candidate.<br />
<br />
Carlos Santana and Jason Kipnis are the only locks around the diamond. Both are young cost-controlled players who have already started to produce at the major league level. Lonnie Chisenhall hasn't hit that well in the majors, but also hasn't had much of an opportunity. The team could decide to give him a shot to run with the job, or they could bring in a stopgap and let him work out his kinks in the minors. The big issue across the board with the Indians is they lack impact prospects to either rely on or trade. Building your team through free agency can get expensive, but the Indians may need to depend on mercenaries to build the team. The Indians are very far from being competitive, but a couple of good signings can go a long way towards building a winning core. If the team doesn't trust Chisenhall, it could make sense to bring in kevin Youkilis as a backup. Youk has a rapport with new manager <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/francte01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Terry Francona</a></b>. Youkilis could also help fill their first base hole since the Indians current options, Yan Gomes, Lars Anderson, and <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/laporma01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Matt LaPorta</a></b>, are all unreliable due to questions about their big league hitting ability. The team could also look to bring in <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/larocad01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Adam LaRoche</a></b> to fill their first base hole.<br />
<br />
The team has shortstop locked up right now with Asdrubal Cabrera, but Cabrera is also their best trade chip. The former Silver Slugger could bring in decent prospects and the team has Mike Aviles to slide over to shortstop in the meantime. Aviles is a major step down from Asdrubal, but the Indians aren't contending for the division in 2013.<br />
<br />
The team also has another valuable trade chip in outfielder Shin-Soo Choo. Choo is the team's best outfielder, but, like Cabrera, could bring in a good prospect haul from a competing team looking for a right fielder. The team probably won't be able to bring in top outfield free agents like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/victosh01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Shane Victorino</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bournmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Michael Bourn</a></b>, or <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hamiljo03.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Josh Hamilton</a></b> due to their recent results, but cheaper alternatives like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/ludwiry01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Ryan Ludwick</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsre02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Reed Johnson</a></b> exist. The team is also in a great position to take advantage of a post-hype sleeper like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/raburry01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Ryan Raburn</a></b>. Raburn was non-tendered by the Tigers, but had a lot of unreached potential that could be realized with a change of venue.<br />
<br />
The team's rotation is in a state of disarray. They had a bottom five rotation last season and could use some fresh faces. Justin Masterson performed fairly well in the past and Zach McAllister, David Huff, and Carlos Carrasco have the potential, but run the risk of being overexposed too early in their development. The team could use free agent acquisitions like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/marcush01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Shaun Marcum</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dempsry01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Ryan Dempster</a></b>, or <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mccarbr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Brandon McCarthy</a></b> to help build a rotation that can eat up innings. The team already made a curious move exercising Ubaldo Jimenez's option after a disappointing season and a half. Ubaldo arguably wouldn't have received $6 million on the open market and that money could have been used for other acquisitions. In general, the team probably needs at least two pitchers that can give them innings so they aren't leaning on their youngsters for a full season.<br />
<br />
The team had an average bullpen last season, but relied on younger pitchers that could potentially take a step forward this season. Chris Perez is a solid big league closer and the setup duo of Vinnie Pestano and Tony Sipp could both be relied upon in save situations. The team could look to move Perez if a good package presents itself and replace his production on the free agent market.<br />
<br />
The Indians are a few seasons away from having a true contender, but 2013 could be a transitional year for a team with a new manager and the freedom from <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hafnetr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Travis Hafner</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sizemgr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Grady Sizemore</a></b>'s large contracts.<br />

The Reds don't really have a lot of holes to fill as they enter the 2013 season. That's not to say the team listed above is the one that will be listed on the Opening Day roster. There are definitely moves to be made as the team lacks a true leadoff hitter and could really use some work on the bench.<br />
<br />
The catching situation is fine. Ryan Hanigan is entering the last season of his contract so we will probably see Devin Mesoraco ease more into the starting role. Last season, Hanigan started in 98 games while Mesoraco started 48. I see that split getting closer this season with the possibility of being completely flipped. Hanigan still puts up good enough numbers to be considered a fringe starter, so I don't see him being interested in a timeshare with the Reds in 2014. Mesoraco didn't show much ability at the plate last season, but did show more pop than the incumbent. With more playing time, he could get more comfortable at the plate.<br />
<br />
The Reds infield is completely locked up. Joey Votto and Brandon Phillips signed extensions that will keep them in Cincinnati for quite a while. The team also trusted Zack Cosart enough to make 131 starts last season, so will obviously be willing to give him the reins again this season. The team lost <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rolensc01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Scott Rolen</a></b> to free agency and possible retirement, but Todd Frazier should slot right into the starting role. Things get somewhat interesting, though, as the team's top three offensive prospects, Didi Gregorious, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=hamilbi01,hamilt002bil&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Billy Hamilton</a></b>, and Henry Rodriguez play shortstop (Gregorious and Hamilton) and third (Rodriguez). The team has started to get creative already by moving Hamilton to center field with an eye towards having him ready to make the team midway through 2013 or the beginning of 2014. The other two could create competition for Cosart and Frazier going forward.<br />
<br />
In the outfield, the only true lock is Jay Bruce. Bruce has a power bat that earned him a Silver Slugger award last season. He will continue to serve as the cleanup hitter behind Joey Votto. The team lost <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/ludwiry01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Ryan Ludwick</a></b> to free agency, though, and may not have the money to bring him back unless they raise payroll a bit. The team doesn't have the resources to bring in one of the top names like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hamiljo03.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Josh Hamilton</a></b> or <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bournmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Michael Bourn</a></b>, but will need to get creative and bring in some kind of outfield solution to help with their present situation. Drew Stubbs will get the bulk of the starts in center field but his bat is anemic against right-handed pitchers. He gives the team a great speed and decent pop for the position, but something has to be done to combat a .41 OPS against fair-handed hurlers. A similar situation exists with Chris Heisey. Heisey has the tools to be the teams primary left fielder, but possesses a .680 OPS against righties, hence the reason to have Ludwick on the roster. In Xavier Paul, the team has a player who can play left field against righties, as his .867 OPS against them last year showed. The team will need to bring someone aboard who can play center field against right-handed pitchers, though. The team could dip into its crop of prospects and try to make a stopgap trade to fill the position until Hamilton is ready. Matching up with Oakland for <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crispco01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Coco Crisp</a></b> is a possibility, as he became somewhat superfluous after the trade for <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=youngch03,youngch04&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Chris Young</a></b>.<br />
<br />
The bench is pretty set right now, as Mesoraco, Rodriguez, Paul, and Burriss's jobs are secure. If theteam brings a center field option aboard, Dennis Phipps could be sent down.<br />
<br />
The team had one of the best rotations last season, as its five starters made nearly all of the team's starts for the season. Obviously, they can't count on that to happen again, but they have the depth to account for an injury. Johnny Cueto, Mat Latos, Bronson Arroyo, and Homer Bailey are locks for their spots. The team brought back Jonathan Broxton, which gives them the flexibility to try the dominant Aroldis Chapman in the rotation. I'm not the biggest fan of the move, as Chapman experienced a bit of dead arm at the end of last season. With <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/leakemi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Mike Leake</a></b> and prospects <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cingrto01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Tony Cingrani</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=corcin001dan&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Daniel Corcino</a></b>, the Reds have the depth to deal with an injury.<br />
<br />
The Reds had the third best bullpen in the National League and return the unit mostly intact. The bullpen obviously takes a huge blow if Chapman is moved into the rotation, but with Broxton and Marshall in tow, they have the depth to stay strong despite the move. If the Reds are nervous about their unit, they could look into a reclamation signing of the recently non-tendered <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/w/wilsobr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Brian Wilson</a></b>. Ultimately, though, the team can probably get positive results even with a slight step down from last season's production.<br />

The White Sox surprised many by being competitive last season in a fairly weak AL Central. During the season, they made moves to bring in <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/y/youklke01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Kevin Youkilis</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/liriafr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Francisco Liriano</a></strong>, and <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/myersbr01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Brett Myers</a></strong> to make a playoff push but fell short. With a strong and young core in place, the White Sox have the tool to challenge the Tigers for the divisional title, but a few moves may need to be made.<br />
<br />
Longtime catcher <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/pierza.01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">A.J. Pierzynski</a></strong> is gone and there aren't any talks of the Sox bringing him back. Tyler Flowers may not be ready to be given full ownership of the starting slot, so it makes sense for the Sox to target a backup catcher who has the ability to start games if Flowers is slumping. Names like <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/barajro01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Rod Barajas</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/o/olivomi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Miguel Olivo</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/shoppke01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Kelly Shoppach</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/snydech02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Chris Snyder</a></strong>, or <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/torreyo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Yorvit Torrealba</a></strong> could be had for around $1 million annually and have the ability to step in in a pinch.<br />
<br />
The team is set at three of the four infield positions, with Paul Konerko, Gordon Beckham, and Alexei Ramirez filling roles at first, second, and short. The team may need to get creative to fill third base, though, as Brent Morel profiles more as a utility option off the bench. The team's resources are a mystery as they enter the year with approximately $113 million on the books. This is $4 million more than their five year average, but the team's payroll topped $120 million as recently as 2011. If the team wants to pursue a free agent, they may have the resources to do so. If the team wants to fill the hole at third through free agency, they could look into <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/polanpl01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Placido Polanco</a></strong> or bringing back Kevin Youkilis. Neither are very good options at this point in their careers, though. The Sox could also move Dayan Viciedo back to third base and pursue a left field free agent. Possible options include <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bayja01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Jason Bay</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/damonjo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Johnny Damon</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/johnsre02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Reed Johnson</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/ludwiry01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Ryan Ludwick</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mclouna01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Nate McLouth</a></strong>, or high profile options like <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hamiljo03.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Josh Hamilton</a></strong> or <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/victosh01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Shane Victorino</a></strong>. They could also look to deal from their starting pitching depth to fill an offensive hole.<br />
<br />
With a catcher signing, the retaining of Dan Johnson, a move out of the lineup for Brent Morel, and the signing of DeWayne Wise, the White Sox have a pretty set bench.<br />
<br />
The rotation could be in serious flux for the White Sox. Chris Sale, Jake Peavy, and John Danks are locks, but the fourth and fifth slots could see some competition. There has been serious talk of moving Gavin Floyd and/or <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/humbeph01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Philip Humber</a></strong> thanks to the Sox having Jose Quintana, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=molina001nes&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Nestor Molina</a></strong>, and <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=castro001sim&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Simon Castro</a></strong>. It might be unrealistic, but the Sox could consider trying to hook up with the Padres and putting a package of Gavin Floyd and prospects together for <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/headlch01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Chase Headley</a></strong>. The White Sox's system saw success at just about every level so they have a lot of depth to deal with.<br />
<br />
The team is returning most of their bullpen from last season. Closer Addison Reed should produce better numbers with a little more experience. The team also brings back Matt Thornton, Nate Jones, Jesse Crain, and Donnie Veal. The team had a league average bullpen last season, but with more defined roles they could see some improvement in their results. The team has talked about being interested in bringing back Brett Myers, but Myers has stated that he is more interested in a starting role.<br />
<br />
With an unknown amount of resources and a fairly deep system, the White Sox have the tools to put a team in place that can make a playoff run.<br />

<br />
The Cubs made a big splash at the beginning of 2012 by trading for former Red Sox GM Theo Epstein and bringing in former Padres GM Jed Hoyer. Between the two, there is a lot of baseball knowledge and a lot of success at building home-grown players. The Cubs having a 2012 payroll that exceeded $100 million is a testament to how bad the ownership and management was before the trio of Ricketts, Epstein, and Hoyer came to town was. The Cubs are coming off of three straight losing season, including a 101 loss campaign in 2012. They also have the small ordeal of apparently going quite a while since their last World Series. As such, this rebuilding team has holes to fill, but the question is how much does the team have to spend?<br />
<br />
With new ownership, it is hard to tell if the Cubs still $110 million to work with or if the Ricketts group is more interested in shedding payroll a bit. If $110 is the magic number, then the Cubs could have approximately $30 million to use this offseason.<br />
<br />
The Cubs already brought in Dioner Navarro to serve as a backup to Welington Castillo. Castillo looked usable last season and the fact that the Cubs spent small money on Navarro could be a sign of trust in Castillo. The rest of the infield is set as youngsters Anthony Rizzo, Darwin Barney, and Starlin Castro join veteran Ian Stewart in a very solid defensive infield. Rizzo is a well-rounded hitter, Castro gets on base and has a load of speed, and Stewart has tremendous power potential. The Cubs are well-suited to stick with this quartet, especially since they cost the team less than $10 million combined.<br />
<br />
In the outfield, Alfonso Soriano and David DeJesus are locks. Soriano is one of the last two really bad contracts doled out by old management, but he was productive in 2012, so the Cubs may be interested in holding on to him for his offense and greatly improving defense. Soriano was arguably the best defensive left fielder in the National League last season. If the team does decide to move him, though, they will probably have to eat a large portion of his contract. With no standout prospects at left field, it makes more sense to pay him to play for the Cubs instead of paying him to play for another team. The big question in the outfield is Brett Jackson. Jackson has struggled with strikeouts at every level, but has a good power bat and can draw a walk. His low average/solid power combination with the ability to amass steals makes him comparable to <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=youngch03,youngch04&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Chris Young</a></b>. Because the Cubs don't have much better options at outfield until <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=soler-000jor&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Jorge Soler</a></b> is ready, it makes a lot of sense to let Jackson work on his control against major league pitching.<br />
<br />
With the exception of Dioner Navarro, the Cubs have a bench that is completely made up of league-minimum players. If they have money to spend, they could afford to bring in some low risk guys on smaller contracts to not only provide more depth, but to challenge their current crop of role players for their bench spots. Currently, the Cubs don't have any positional battles, which can lead to stagnant play.<br />
<br />
The Cubs have already brought in Scott Feldman and Scott Baker as reclamation projects for the rotation. I think they spent a little too much money for guys that don't have a tremendous amount of upside aside from moving from the AL to the NL. At any rate, the two moves did answer their largest question - the rotation. I think they should bring in a few more guys on minor league contracts to protect themselves from slumping pitchers. Matt Garza is a strong option with ace potential, but the other four members of the Cubs Opening Day rotation are anything but locks to have productive seasons.<br />
<br />
Due to being made up of primarily young hurlers, the Cubs bullpen is incredibly hit or miss. They almost swung a deal to move Carlos Marmol to the Angels for <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/harenda01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Dan Haren</a></b>, but backed out when they saw Haren's physical. The move shows the Cubs lack of trust in their so-called closer and I don't think that was the last phone call they made about the wild hurler. If the team does move Marmol, they could be on the market for a closer, since they don't have any good internal options. The bullpen is actually the area that is most in need of retooling for team, as the team had the league's worst pen last year and didn't have any standout performers. Moving Marmol for a bench bat and entering the market for some fresh blood could do this team a lot of good. Ultimately, I think the Cubs fans are in for another disappointing season, but with solid management and a step up in play from their young core, the Cubs could conceivably be a surprise team in 2013.<br />

Out of the possible candidates, eligible voters are allowed to put ten names on their ballot. Players who appear on 75% of the ballot make it in. I will follow this formula and assemble a ballot of my own. I am going to look at the players by position and determine if there are even ten names worthy of consideration.<br />
<br />
Today we will start with the two eligible catchers. Before I post tables, I should explain to non-stat minded readers some of the stats. All of these stats were taken from Baseball Reference. <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/about/leader_glossary.shtml#hof_monitor" target="_blank">Bill James Hall of Fame Monitor</a> assesses how likely a player is to be voted into the Hall of Fame based on statistical benchmarks. <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/about/leader_glossary.shtml#hof_standard" target="_blank">Bill James Hall of Fame Standards test</a> is a point system that gives players extra points for how much they exceed certain statistical values. <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/about/jaws.shtml" target="_blank">Jay Jaffe's WAR Score system</a> averages a player's career WAR with the average WAR of his best seven seasons and then compares this number to other players in his position. This allows us to see how much better or worse he is than the average player at his position. Lastly, <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/about/war_explained.shtml" target="_blank">WAR, or Wins Above Replacement</a> assesses how many wins a particular player added to his team over what a replacement-level player would have netted for the team. Now then, on with the candidates.<br />

<b>Mike Piazza</b><br />
<br />
Mike Piazza jumped right into a Hall of Fame calibre career with a 1993 season that earned him the Rookie of the Year award. Piazza hit for a .932 OPS and blasted 35 home runs in his first season and it was uphill from there. He had arguably his best season in 1997 when he hit 40 home runs, had a 1.070 OPS, and finished second in MVP voting. Piazza was never voted in as the Most Valuable Player, but he had four top five finishes in voting and three more season in the top ten. He was named to twelve All Star teams in sixteen seasons. In ten of his appearances, he was voted in as the starter. This popularity with the fans ties him with <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/benchjo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Johnny Bench</a></strong> for third place all-time in starts at the catcher position behind <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rodriiv01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Ivan Rodriguez</a></strong> and <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/berrayo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Yogi Berra</a></strong>. Piazza won ten Silver Sluggers, which is most all-time at the catcher position. His ten awards were all in a row, as he took the award every season from 1993-2002. The major knock against Piazza is his defense. He routinely led the league in stolen bases allowed and passed balls.<br />
<br />
As far as career numbers, Piazza is first all-time in OPS, tenth in batting average, and fourth in weighted OBA. In terms of rate stats, he is tops in home runs, eleventh in runs, and fourth in RBIs. Quite frankly, Mike Piazza is in the discussion as one of the best offensive catchers of all-time. It may take a few years due to steroid talk, but if Piazza doesn't eventually make it in, then there is no reason for a Hall of Fame to exist.<br />
<br />
<b>Sandy Alomar</b><br />
<br />
Alomar's resume isn't as dazzling as Piazza's. He also won the Rookie of the Year award, taking the 1990 prize, but the comparisons end there. He was named to six All Star games, including three as the starting catcher. He never won the Silver Slugger, but did take home the 1990 Gold Glove. From 1994-1997, he had a four year stretch of showing improved power hitting, but it trailed off as his career started to fade in 1998. Alomar hung around until 2007 thanks to his average defensive ability. He played four more seasons than Piazza, but appered in almost 600 less games thanks to injuries or being relegated to backup status.<br />
<br />
Both of these cases are easy decisions, as Piazza is a slam dunk, while Alomar is an astounding no. The only thing holding Piazza back is his admission of using androstenedione before it was banned. Personally, you can chalk me up as not caring about PEDs. In my opinion, the rampant use of steroids in the late 80s to now represents an era of baseball much like the deadball era. If a player takes a substance that is banned now, I think he should be suspended, but if players took steroids before they were banned by baseball, then it can't really be held against them for trying to gain a competitive edge. At the end of the day, steroids don't magically make you a better hitter, so a player's ability and numbers can't be ignored just because they used PEDs.<br />

The Red Sox had a very disappointing 2012, as their offseason signing of <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/valenbo02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Bobby Valentine</a></b> to serve as a drill sergeant after ChickenAndBeerGate did not exactly pan out. Bobby V upset the fans, players, and organization with his inability to filter his public comments about the team. As such, he was let go and the Red Sox finally got their main managerial target, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=farrejo03,farrejo02&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">John Farrell</a></b>, in a trade with Toronto. Due to the disappointment of 2012, the bulk of the team was traded mid-season. The team enters 2013 with anywhere from 50 to 70 million dollars to spend depending on what management views as the payroll ceiling. It is definitely a luxury to go into an offseason with a budget the size of most teams payrolls, but the Red Sox also have a lot of holes to fill with that money.<br />
<br />
The most glaring hole is at first base. Jerry Sands isn't a bad player, but doesn't have much value as an everyday starter at first. He is better suited as an option off the bench given his ability to play first base and the corner outfield positions. The Red Sox have been talking to <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/napolmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Mike Napoli</a></b>, which would be a good pickup for them given his power numbers. If Napoli is brought in, though, he brings injury risk and is prone to slumps. The first base market is very weak this year, with only <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/y/youklke01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Kevin Youkilis</a></b> and <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/larocad01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Adam LaRoche</a></b> presenting even passable options, so, if they don't go with Napoli, the trade market could be the way to go. After bringing in David Ross from Atlanta, the Sox have a catching surplus with Ross, Jarrod Saltamacchia, and Ryan Lavarnaway already in the fold and prospect <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=swihar000bla&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Blake Swihart</a></b> on his way. It makes a lot of sense to move Saltamacchia to a team in need of catching. More on that in a moment.<br />
<br />
The team liked what they saw out of Will Middlebrooks last season and obviously have second base locked up with Dustin Pedroia, but shortstop could be an area of need. Jose Iglesias is a flashy fielder, but hasn't shown the ability to hit at any level. The Red Sox fans aren't big on run prevention, so management may want to look into offensive options for the position. Top prospect <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=bogaer001xan&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Xander Bogaerts</a></b> is very intriguing, but will only be 20 years old entering 2013. It makes a lot of sense for the team to look into options like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/drewst01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Stephen Drew</a></b> or bringing back <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/scutama01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Marco Scutaro</a></b> for the position, but could also look into hooking up with Cleveland for <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabreas01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Asdrubal Cabrera</a></b>.<br />
<br />
The Red Sox just signed Jonny Gomes, but between him, Ryan Sweeney, Daniel Nava, and Ryan Kalish, the team has four guys that make solid fourth outfielders, but aren't the best starting options. Some have been talking about trading Jacoby Ellsbury, but I think it makes more sense to hold onto Ellsbury and try to find options to put in place around him. The team is the front-runner to bring back <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/rossco01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Cody Ross</a></b>, but he is another player who is better in a part-time role. Between the five part time players, they could have a good season, but the Red Sox could also build a trade for a player like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/choosh01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Shin-Soo Choo</a></b> or <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/u/uptonju01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Justin Upton</a></b>.<br />
<br />
Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz, and Felix Doubront make a formidable starting three, but John Lackey and Franklin Morales are big mysteries in the rotation. With Morales arguably better suited for a bullpen role, it makes sense to bring in at least one surefire starting pitcher and possibly one or two low-risk minor league signing for depth. The team could look at free agents like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/harenda01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Dan Haren</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dempsry01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Ryan Dempster</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sanchan01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Anibal Sanchez</a></b>, or Ryan Dempster to fill their fifth starter slot and reclamation projects like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bradeda01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Dallas Braden</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/correke01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Kevin Correia</a></b>, or <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=youngch03,youngch04&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Chris Young</a></b> could be solid depth moves.<br />
<br />
If all the parts can stay healthy, the Red Sox have a formidable bullpen, with Andrew Bailey, Alfredo Aceves, Daniel Bard, and Mark Melancon all possessing closer experience. They could look at a returning player like <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/soriajo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Joakim Soria</a></b> as a low risk, high reward signing, but if they make the depth moves listed above in the rotation, they would have Franklin Morales back in the bullpen, which would strengthen the unit.<br />
<br />
The Red Sox have a lot of work to do this offseason, but they have the resources to fill their holes and build a team to compete with the incredibly strong American League East.

The Orioles were a surprise last year as they emerged as a force in the AL East. They had been quietly stock-piling cost-controlled players and making the occasional splash in free agency. With a core built around Adam Jones, Matt Wieters, Brian Roberts, and Nick Markakis, the Os have done of lot of work internally. They enter 2013 with a team that largely remains intact and untouched from the 2012 playoff campaign. With a budget that is currently $12 million over their five year average and $1 million over their five year high, it appears that free agency will not be the way the Orioles fill holes.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, the Orioles don't have a lot of holes to fill. Top to bottom, their lineup is filled with very solid hitters. The big difference over last year will be the fact that young shortstop-turned-third baseman Manny Machado will get a full season under his belt. The Os top prospect has a good amount of pop in his bat, solid contact numbers, and, as we saw in 2012, defense that can play well at the hot corner. The rumor mill is saying that they are looking to upgrade at first base, left field, and DH through trades, but Reynolds, Davis, and Reimold are solid options, if not a little superfluous due to all three being all-power and high strikeout guys.<br />
<br />
The Orioles have a passable rotation, but they are interested in trying to bring <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/saundjo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Joe Saunders</a></strong> back, which would be a good move for a team with a good defensive infield. The Os may have more money to spend thanks to the playoff push. They are set in the bullpen with breakthrough closer Jim Johnson returning to shut the door down and role players Pedro Strop and Darren O'Day coming back.<br />
<br />
Personally, I don't think there are any free agents that are in the Orioles price range that represent an improvement over what they already have on the roster. If they do bring Joe Saunders in, they could trade one of their younger starters for an improvement in the outfield or at first base. If they decide to stand pat, though, the team's young core can compete with the Yankees and the new look Blue Jays in the AL East.

The Diamondbacks are one of the few teams that don't have a lot of work to do this offseason. They already made their big move when they pulled off the three team trade that sent <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/player_search.cgi?results=youngch03,youngch04&utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Chris Young</a></b> to Oakland and Cliff Pennington and Heath Bell to Arizona. In Pennington, the DBacks received a defensive shortstop with a fair amount of contact hitting ability. He joins an infield of Miguel Montero, Paul Goldschmidt, Aaron Hill, and Chris Johnson that all have good power for their positions. With Jason Kubel, Adam Eaton, and Justin Upton, the DBacks bring back a team that struggle with strikeouts, but have the ability to put up a big inning.<br />
<br />
Arizona has a bit of depth on the bench as Wil Nieves is a serviceable backup catcher who hit pretty well last year in a season split between Colorado and Arizona. Obviously playing in two hitters' parks helped his numbers, but returning to the confines of Chase Field continues that relationship. The team also has Ryan Wheeler, Willie Bloomquist, Gerardo Parra, and John McDonald. This represents a good mix of slap hitters off the bench and defensive subsitutions. If they can afford to improve anywhere, though, their depth on the bench would be a great place to start. They have a lot of defensive ability, but could really use a more reliable pinch-hitting option.<br />
<br />
The pitching rotation for Arizona is solid. Ian Kennedy is primed to bounce back from a subpar 2012 and is followed in the rotation by Trevor Cahill. Cahill quietly had a solid season and is still only 24 years old. The team also looks to feature a crop of talented young pitchers in Wade Miley, Trevor Bauer, and Tyler Skaggs. Skaggs and Bauer struggled a bit in short stints with the major league team, but strong minor league numbers point to a bright future for the two arms. Miley looks to follow up on a rookie campaign that almost earned him the rookie of the year award.<br />
<br />
With the aforementioned three team trade, the Diamondbacks bullpen is anchored by David Hernandez, J.J. Putz, and Heath Bell. They also have a former closer in Brad Ziegler. Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw round out the short relief game, while Josh Collmenter is available as a swingman. The DBacks had a top ten bullpen last season. The addition of Bell can help the team improve on an already strong unit.<br />
<br />
With a payroll of $76 million on the books so far, the DBacks are about one million over last year's payroll and $6.5 million over their five year average. Realistically, they can't afford to sign free agents on anything more than low risk deal or minor league contracts. They have the option of trading Collmenter, Skaggs, or Bauer to try to bring back an inferior arm and an offensive option for their bench, but that cuts into their starting pitching depth while providing only a minimal improvement.

With a decent chunk of money to spend, the Braves have only a few holes to speak of. McCann, Freeman and Uggla are locks at their positions, while Francisco has played well enough to take over for <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jonesch06.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Chipper Jones</a></strong> at the hot corner. I anticipate the Braves will let Andrelton Simmons and Tyler Pastornicky battle for the starting shortstop role as the market for free agent shortstops is not solid enough to consider spending high dollars on. Prado and Heyward are entrenched in the corner outfield positions, but the loss of <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bournmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Michael Bourn</a></strong> creates a huge hole in center field. The Braves just brought back <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/schafjo02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Jordan Schafer</a></strong> from the Astros, but he provides depth more than a solution. Schafer has good speed and is a decent defender, but has trouble getting on base.<br />
<br />
It is a possibility that the Braves bring Bourn back, but he will command a large contract thanks to a top-heavy center field market. I don't see the Braves entering the battle for <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/h/hamiljo03.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Josh Hamilton</a></strong>, but <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/u/uptonbj01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">B.J. Upton</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/paganan01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Angel Pagan</a></strong> or <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/victosh01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Shane Victorino</a></strong> are options for a team that needs a top of the order bat. If the team is convinced that Schafer could turn the corner, they could also consider taking a chance on <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabreme01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Melky Cabrera</a></strong>. The team could also trade from their pitching surplus to fill the hole in center field. Possible trade candidates could be <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/fowlede01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Dexter Fowler</a></strong>, <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crispco01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Coco Crisp</a></strong>, or <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/d/dejesda01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">David DeJesus</a></strong>.<br />
<br />
In terms of who to move, look no further than Jair Jurrjens. Jurrjens was pushed out of his rotation spot by the emerging Kris Medlen and doesn't look to regain it this offseason. The Angels just found a team willing to trade for <strong><a target="_blank" href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/santaer01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com">Ervin Santana</a></strong> on a twelve million dollar contract; someone will find value in Jurrjens for half that.<br />
<br />
The team has a strong bullpen core, but could use some money or trades to bring in another arm or two. With the rising cost of free agent relievers, though, it is becoming even more important to grow your own.<br />
<br />
The Braves were one win away from the playoffs last season and enter the year with a team that is built for another run. With a center field acquisition, a couple of inexpensive signings to shore up the bench, and an arm or two for the bullpen, they will be a serious contender for the NL East crown.

Only one or two true stars debut each season, but many more make their first of many appearances as starters or bench players. The award by no means guarantees a bright career (just ask <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/coghlch01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Chris Coghlan</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/sotoge01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Geovany Soto</a></b>, or <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/crosbbo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Bobby Crosby</a></b>) nor does losing out erase your chances at stardom (the above-mentioned players beat out <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mccutan01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Andrew McCutchen</a></b>, <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/v/vottojo01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Joey Votto</a></b>, and <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/g/greinza01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Zack Greinke</a></b>, respectively).

<b> </b>The American League side of the ballot isn't really up for discussion. Mike Trout's rookie campaign was historic. In terms of Wins Above Replacement, it is the greatest rookie season since Joe Jackson's first full season in 1911. Trout was called up twenty games into the season and led a star-studded Angels team to an 89-73 record, greatly outplaying teammates who made far more money than he did. The Angels had a .583 winning percentage with Mike Trout in the game and a .348 winning percentage without. If Mike Trout had been on the opening day lineup and not missed the first twenty games, the Angels would have potentially won 94 games and made the playoffs.<br />

<b> </b>The National League is a little bit trickier as there isn't a slam dunk pick like Trout. The easy pick is breakout star Bryce Harper, but looking at his stats next to Wilin Rosario's really paints a picture. The two players peripheral stats are just about even, with Rosario actually leading the way in OPS and wOBA. The difference in counting stats is worth looking at, though, as Rosario's stats are equal or greater than Harper's despite having 171 less plate appearances. Without Harper's defensive abilities in center field, nothing distinguishes the two. This isn't an argument for Wilin Rosario as the winner, but it takes a bit of the shine off of Harper.<br />
<br />
My choice for the award would be Diamondbacks hurler Wade Miley. He had a great season starting for the Snakes thanks to his control and ground ball pitching. Pitchers of his repertoire are hard to project over a career, so I can't say with certainty whether he will go on to have a stellar resume or if he will be the next <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jennija01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Jason Jennings</a></b>, but in 2012 he was the best.<br />
<br />
Prediction: Wade Miley<br />

Sometimes, the award goes to a division winner. Other times, it can go to a team that may not have won, but showed a drastic improvement over the last season. I have taken both of these ideas and used a nerdy formula to determine the Manager of the Year in each league.<br />
<br />
<b>The Math</b><br />
<br />
My formula isn't really very scientific at all. The team's wins are added to wins added over last season. Losses are subtracted. Twenty points are awarded for a division crown and ten for a wild card. Because a team's payroll can have a major affect on a manager's available weapons, I factored that in as well. I took a team's total payroll and divided by its wins to determine how much each team spent on a victory. The average amount spent on a victory was $1,250,735. I divided the average by the actual amount spent on a victory to get a normalized number. These numbers were all added to create a total.<br />

It's hard to argue with a formula that determines that Bobby Valentine was the league's worst manager.<br />
<b> </b><br />
Melvin and Showalter are the clear front-runners in the American League. Showalter took a last place team and completely flipped their record from 69-93 to 93-69 this season. They came very close to upsetting the Yankees for the division title and almost knocked them out of the playoffs. In a division where the Blue Jays and Rays have seen recent surges, it will be interesting if the Orioles can have a repeat season or if this was a fluke.<br />
<br />
The winner of Manager of the Year, though, has to be Bob Melvin. Melvin's Athletics were in the same division as the two-time defending American League Champion Texas Rangers and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Both team spent a lot of money in the offseason and had much better rosters than Oakland on paper. Melvin got a lot of results from his young team that is very sustainable due to the bulk of the production coming from a young and talented pitching staff.<br />
<br />
Prediction: Bob Melvin<br />

The Tigers swatted away the upstart Oakland Athletics and then swept the Yankees to get here, while the Giants rallied back from being down 0-2 and 1-3 to the Reds and Cardinals to win six straight elimination games and claw their way into the World Series. Who will be victorious? Let's look at the rosters.<br />

<b> </b>Posey was obviously the better weapon in the regular season as he is a front-runner for the MVP award. His production in the postseason, though, has been sub-par. He has hit a couple of home runs, but his overall production has been poor. Avila's, though, is just as bad. He crashed down to Earth hard after his breakout season last year.<br />

This situation is very similar to first base. Fielder was obviously the better player this season but has had a mediocre postseason and really hasn't stepped up in any way. Belt hit a home run against the Cardinals, but also hasn't had a good showing overall in the playoffs. In the end, you have to give the nod to Fielder due to his greater potential to put in a great series.<br />
<br />
Advantage: Tigers<br />

No one has been hotter over the last month than Marco Scutaro. The Giants ended up getting a steal when they traded with the Rockies to acquire the second basemen that they gravely needed. He was a catalyst for the Reds comeback against the Cardinals and earned the NLCS MVP award with his strong work at the plate and in the field. Infante had a standard season and has hit for decent average. He is a great presence at the top of the order, but isn't turning anyone's heads.<br />
<br />
Advantage: Giants<br />

It's a no-brainer who had the better season. Cabrera won the Triple Crown and battled with <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/troutmi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Mike Trout</a></b> for the American League MVP. Sandoval missed a large chunk of the season with a broken hamate bone. In the playoffs, though, Sandoval has been red hot. At the time of this writing, he is 2-2 in game 1 with two home runs. I think Miguel breaks out, but this one is far more even than you think.<br />

Advantage: Push<br />
<br />

Brandon Crawford has been pretty good with the glove this season, but hasn't shown any offensive proficiency. Jhonny, on the otherhand, has countered from a meager season at the plate to hit pretty well for the Tigers. He is a steady hand in the field and can hit for pretty good pop.<br />
<br />

With the exception of Hunter Pence, both teams feature outfield made up of fairly unheralded players. The difference between the two, though, is the Tiger's outfield bats.

In the games in Detroit, we know that Delmon Young will get the at bats as the designated hitter, but the Giants don't have a solid option to rely on. Theriot and Arias have been hitting well this season and in the postseason, but they are not guarantees to give you productive at bats. Both teams are fairly shallow in terms of bench options, but the speed of Quintin Berry could make him useful in pinch-running situations.<br />

Verlander is in the process of getting shelled in the first game, which could be a sign that he is reverting to his career postseason stats. For some reason, he has never been a very good option in the playoffs, but has been lights out this year. The Tigers biggest strength is their rotation, as the number show. All four Tigers starters have been dynamite in the postseason so far and will pitch in two notorious pitcher's parks. The Giants have two solid starters in Vogelsong and Cain, but have been shaky outside of those two. Zito has been solid so far, but has been inconsistent ever since the ink dried on his San Francisco contract. Bumgarner has been rotten in his two starts. <b><a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/linceti01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.blogger.com" target="_blank">Tim Lincecum</a></b> is an option to start, but has been better suited out of the bullpen. If I'm putting my money on a group of starters, it's Detroit's four.<br />

This is where things really get interesting. Disregarding Mota and Mijares because, let's face it, they aren't going to factor into the World Series, The Giants have a fantastic bullpen. Lincecum has been an electric arm, but hasn't been shut down. Kontos is a role player who probably won't see much time. Romo, Lopez, Affeldt, and Casilla, though, are a fantastic group to lean on in late inning games. If they get the lead, there's a good chance they won't cough it up. The Tigers have the opposite situation. The top guys in their pen, Valverde and Benoit, have been poor in the postseason. Their minor characters have been lights out in the postseason. There is a decent chance that Coke, Dotel, Smyly, and Porcello revert to their season stats, but the X factor for the Tigers could be Al Alburquerque. He was a fill-in closer last season, but lost time due to injury this year. He could definitely play a big part in the Tigers' success if the starters get pulled.<br />
<br />
Advantage: Push<br />
<br />
As you can see, these are two really evenly matched teams. More than ever before, this is an incredibly hard postseason to call, especially since no one predicted these two teams to make it this far. Since it's a lock that Detroit loses tonight, I'll predict they win the next two, lose at least one in Detroit, and Verlander wins his next start. That gives the Giants two more elimination games to further their amazing run, but I think the pixie dust has run out.<br />
<br />
Prediction: Tigers in six.

Rally Caps is a general baseball blog and podcast that will bring you coverage of events in Major League Baseball, off-season hot stove discussion, awards prediction, and spirited debate between two best friends whose opinions on baseball are vastly different.<br />
<br />
David is a fan with great knowledge of the game. He follows stats but is more of a scout-minded analyst who trusts his eye more than a set of numbers. Justin is a more stat-based fan who doesn't believe in small sample sizes, clutchiness, or "Player X has this line against Pitcher Y" When they discuss baseball, their opinions sometimes clash.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned as we go into full swing tomorrow with coverage of the World Series between the Detroit Tigers and the winner of tonight's Giants/Cardinals showdown.Justin McClaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08540291009839262284noreply@blogger.com0
