Predictions (part III: Matt)
In keeping with the format (and aware that we're getting later every day the season progresses), the Barnard pick for NL Cy Young is Jake Peavy. While certainly not as wild a pick as Jeff Weaver, I haven't seen Peavy listed as a probable Cy Young candidate anywhere yet. I'm of the belief that the Padres are going to be pretty good this year (and win the weak NL West), and while they've got considerably more offense to start the year than they've had in the recent past, at least some of the improvement is going to have to be picked up by the pitching staff. The addition of David Wells at the top of the rotation is nice, but the Padres' most talented pitcher is certainly Peavy. He's got terrific stuff and is really a joy to watch - if tonight's duel with Odalis Perez in Los Angeles is available on television wherever you are, eat it up. - |
