The 2012 Major League Baseball Thread
2012 Major League Baseball
In the absence of Dana, I decided to create this thread, given that the season starts next week.
I'm looking forward to a fun year!

I think some of these players will have break-out years; I am definitely going to try and get them on my fantasy team(s):
Matt Kemp: Proven he has been productive and effective for the Dodgers, and he only seems to be getting better.
Ryan Braun: Although Braun has a strange stance, it does not seem to defeat him from improving offensively.
Ian Kennedy: This guy seems young, and has lots of potential. After establishing a 20 win record, he will be the ultimate gem for Arizona.
Ervin Santana: Despite his MLB fluctuations throughout his career, Santana has some of the best stuff (amazing slider), and will likely increase his Ks this year.
Dustin Ackley: Being in Seattle, Ackley has prooven to be one of the most effective rookies for the Mariners in the past ~10 years. He is also a very quick and agile second baseman.
Troy Tulowitzki: I am speechless about Tulowitzki. His defensive play is stunnning, and he is one of the best all-around talented players in the game. He is young, and has lots of prime years ahead of him to dominate the game. Tulowitzki seems to get better each season.

Thanks for starting this Rob. Really enjoyed the MLB thread last season. I know Dana is getting ready for what is sure to be an exciting season for his Angels. Happy baseball is coming back soon!!
. However, working in Ft Lauderdale I will be attending the Miami Marlins game vs STL. They only play one game and then off to Milwaukee.

For sure. Now with a stacked lineup on the Angels, they will be a fierce competitor with Texas.
