In past years, I have posted 20 bold predictions for the upcoming season. Just because our little RotoGraphs contest among authors only required 10 doesn’t mean I was going to stop there! So here are another 10 bold predictions to ridicule me for, or cause your eyes to open in wonder as to how I could be such a brilliant prognosticator.

The little things we've been doing to occupy ourselves between our drafts and today can come to a close. No more relentless refreshing of Rotoworld. No more sheepish perusals of preseason data. Yes, the real deal begins tonight. Sort of. Saturday is the first full docket of games. Unlike fantasy football, where a Sunday makes up roughly 6% of the season, Saturday will comprise 0.6% of the total statistics...

“Hot damn do I love Billy Butler. I always knew he had batting title type skills, but last year was supposed to be the year where the power showed up...well, it sorta did, but 19 homers from a first baseman is pretty weak. Unfortunately, after this many years in the league, that may be right around his peak. Regardless, I think his BA gets back into the .310-.320 range, and he will continue to drive in runs like he did a year ago. Think Michael Young in his prime, but bigger and fatter, minus the steals. That's not really Michael Young at all, but you get my point.”

“Butler is a solid 20-100 option that will hit around .300. Nothing wrong with him as he brings very little risk to the table. There is a chance he takes his power to the next level, but expecting more than 25 HRs would be an incredible season for the solid Billy B.”
