And we finally come to the end of the baseball preview posts. After this it'll be back to me making fun of NASCAR and that song that rips off Tainted Love.

Los Angeles Dodgers: I really think the Dodgers will underachieve again this year, but this division is just horrid and there isn't much competition if they do. Nomar is already hurt, but they're a fairly deep team with the best starting rotation in the division, which doesn't say much.

San Francisco Giants: This is just a ridiculously old team, with 3 players over 40 and 6 others over 35. Jason Schmidt and Matt Morris should be good anchors for the rotation, but it remains to be seen whether their position players will break down as the season goes on.

San Diego Padres: They somehow finished in 1st place last year, but their one quality young starting pitcher is hurt and the Padres won't be able to count on 39 year old Woody Williams to be the staff ace. They should have a solid offense, so there's a chance they could leapfrog the Giants if Barry Bonds' head explodes.

Arizona Diamonbacks: With slightly better pitching the D-Backs could contend in this division, but they're still building for the future right now.

Colorado Rockies: Remember when their fearsome lineup was always a threat to lead the league in runs, even in road games? Now they can barely score runs at home, and their roster is Todd Helton And Not Much Else. I'm not sure what direction this team is going in, but it involves Jose Mesa.
