Test your prognostication skills in the 2004 Batter's Box Predictions Contest!

Last year's contest drew 39 entries and was miraculously won by yours truly.

The prize for winning this year's contest may or may not include one of the following:



During a wretched, week-long business trip to El Centro, California, I revised the point system so that a perfect score is 100 points.

CATEGORIES (100 points possible):

1 point for each team's place within a division (30 points possible)
2 extra points for division winner (12)
1 extra point for team in each league with fewest wins (2)
2 points for each wild card (4)
4 points for each pennant winner (8)
8 points for World Series winner (8)

5 points for each MVP (10)
5 points for each Cy Young winner (10)
5 points for each Rookie of the Year (10)
3 points for each Manager of the Year (6)

(Half credit will be awarded for ties in places or voting.)

Scott, sure thing ... send me your address and team of choice (I actually changed the rules later to be any team except the Yankees to acknowledge the widening Box audience -- I'm assuming Rangers rather than Jays?). Not trying to welsh, just totally forgot about the prize.

Seeing as the fabulous prizes are not so fabulous, I'll make a prediction based on what I'd love to see: The Jays become the new curse team for the Cubbies and the Red Sox. And in the World Series, The Horse will beat the Wunderkind in the Halladay vs. Prior matchup in Game 7, as long as Prior's arm hasn't fallen off by then.

AL PENNANT: Oakland
AL EAST: Boston, New York, Toronto, Tampa Bay, Baltimore
AL CENTRAL: Chicago, Minnesota, Kansas City, Cleveland, Detroit
AL WEST: Oakland, Anaheim, Texas, Seattle
AL WILD CARD: Anaheim; beating the Yankees by half a game and the Twins and Jays by a full game on the last day of the season.
AL FEWEST WINS: Detroit, but only 105 this time.
NL PENNANT: Philadelphia, thanks to Kevin Millwood's career year.
NL EAST: Philadelphia, Atlanta, Florida, Montreal, New York
NL CENTRAL: Houston, Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee,
NL WEST: Los Angeles, Colorado, San Diego, San Francisco, Arizona
NL WILD CARD: Atlanta, can't keep a good Cox down.
NL FEWEST WINS: Milwaukee, Bud can't save them from contraction.
AL MVP: Nomar Garciaparra, surprising everyone except himself.
NL MVP: Albert Pujols, thanks to Barry Bonds' implosion and court time.
AL CY YOUNG: Curt Schilling, proving old horses can learn new tricks.
NL CY YOUNG: Kevin Millwood, beating the Braves in the NLCS game 7.
AL ROY: Joe Mauer, but he won't, because he's no Terry Steinbach or even a Brian Harper.
NL ROY: Kaz Matsui, because he's a Japanese import which equals ratings.
AL MANAGER: Ozzie Guillen for winning despite clubhouse dischord
NL MANAGER: Jimy Williams for winning despite mispelling his first name.
TIEBREAKER: 215.1, missing 3 starts in May after pulling something.

I love prediction time... it's where us writers get to pretend we know what's going on.... oh; delusions of grandure....

Here's a few other predictions of mine.

1. Barry Bonds will have the worst year of his career, fighting intense media and legal scrutiny in addition to the emotional loss sustained after the loss of Bobby Bonds. Due to injuries and diminished skills, he only hits 14 home runs in 380 AB.

2. The first manager to be fired will be Bob Melvin after the Mariners play below .400 ball through Victoria Day, despite suffering no major injuries. After two weeks of interim coaching; he will be replaced by; oh, I don't know... let's say Cito.

3. A baseball player (either college or minor league) will die this summer with steroids or growth hormones playing a significant role in the cause.

4. The union will do nothing after said event.

5. Frank Thomas will enter a major feud with Ozzie Guillen, but will lose the PR war as Guillen wins Manager of the Year and Thomas is shipped to the hated Yankees (after Giambi is injured in mid-July) in exchange for Contreras (who thrives in Chicago) Kenny Lofton, Paul Quantrill. Thomas, Gary Sheffield and Kevin Brown enter a media fracas after Sheffield and Thomas almost come to blows in the dugout and Brown yells several colourful metaphores on national television during a September 7 game losing streak. No 5 second delay on ESPN here. Torre resigns after the season as does Cashman. Jeter slumps, A.Rod wonders what he has gotten himself into. The Evil Empire is at its end.

6. The Jays will excite many, but just come up short, achieving a 93-69 record. Without an established closer the Jays blow 25 percent of potential saves. The losses prove costly, as the Jays miss the playoffs by one game.

7. J.P. Riccardi will baffle many by trading Reed Johnson for more ,marginal pitching prospects, but the play of (Gross, J.F. Griffin, Rios.. take your pick) astonishes the city, silencing everyone but Bauxite favourite Richard Griffin.

8. Jose Canseco will do something to further embarass himself and tarnish his career.... like try out for the Tigers.... and not make it.

9. Nomar has one of the best years in the post-war era. Hitting .375/ .458/.620 with 35HR, 159 RBI and 32 SB. He wins the Triple Crown, leads Boston to the Division Championship and takes home the MVP. He walks out on Boston after the end of the season, refusing to even discuss a contract with them.

10. September of 2004 is a month to remember. With no fewer than 6 teams within 3 games of the AL Wildcard, the pennant race is tight and exciting. Anaheim pulls it out in the end.... thanks to the heroic effort of Cy Young candidate Kelvim Escobar.

11. Jays fans are disappointed to see Carlos Delgado leave, giving him a larger ovation than Steib, Key, Carter, Moesby or Fernandez ever received.

12. Griffey is traded back to Seattle, and plays without injury.

13. Roger Clemens becomes a 4.50+ ERA pitcher who strikes out 8/9IP but gives up the most homers in the NL Central.

14. Despite the exciting pennant finish, the records, the season of Nomar and the most exciting All-Star game in history; Major League Baseball fails to capitalize on its successes, missing out on yet another opportunity to properly market the sport.

15. Peter Gammons will delve further into his own psyche, realizing that his sources are complete bunk.

Thanks for the exercise in creative writing! What would we do without the Internet, eh?

Cheers,
Ken Kosowan

World Series winner: Boston

NL Worst: Pittsburgh

I unintentionally set up a Chicago-Boston World Series. In that case, Babe's shadow will be eradicated. The gods will intevene though. I'll be wrong about one of the pennant winners. I just don't see anyone in the NL West or East as being as good as the cubs, and Houston and St Louis won't beat em during the season or in the CS I don't think, so the Cubs win almost by default...

AL MVP: Vlad, toss up between him and ARod, but he should win
NL MVP: Pujols (I figure either I'll either get the NL Central right and this wrong, or get it wrong and get this right)
AL CY: Hudson, it'll come out of Oakland or the AL East
NL CY: Schmidt, feels like a stretch, but the only other guy I really like is RJ, and i didn't predict a great year for the D-Backs. I don't think it'll come out of the Central for some reason.
AL ROY: Mauer, don't like going with the consensus pick, but I can't think of anyone else except Crosby, and I like Mauer better
NL ROY: Greene, it's so up in the air right now.
AL MANAGER: Alan Trammel - I think it could easily go to a 4th place manager. If the Tigers break 70 wins, he should win. Most other teams have expectations too high and/or unfairly good lineups.
NL MANAGER: Dusty Baker, for carrying the Cubbies back into the post-season for the 2nd year in a row
TIE-BREAKER (as if anyone will tie): 214.2, everyone else seems to be going a little high, most pitchers don't throw 250 in a year and definitely not two years in a row. He's efficient and got a rubber arm, but we don't want to kill him

Mike Green - Monday, October 04 2004 @ 09:47 AM EDT (#6594) #
Craig, you set a pretty high standard for yourself. You got the NL playoff teams right, and that was not an easy task this year. Actually, you got 7 of 8 playoff teams and Oakland lost out on the final weekend. Heck, you might win the contest.
Craig B - Monday, October 04 2004 @ 10:10 AM EDT (#6595) #
Actually, you got 7 of 8 playoff teams

No, just 3 of 8. I got their identities right, but messed up the wild card vs. division winners. And only eight teams' placings right. And only one shot at an award.
_Mick - Monday, October 04 2004 @ 10:28 AM EDT (#6596) #
Gah. Seattle ahead of Anaheim, Texas as the worst team in the AL, Derek Jeter and Derek Lee as MVPs, Andy Pettitte and Tim Hudson as Cy Young winners ... memo to self: when you start off by picking the Red Sox to finish ahead of the Yankees, re-think your entire strategy.
Mike Green - Monday, October 04 2004 @ 10:29 AM EDT (#6597) #
Craig, I figure that Cox and Guerrero have chances, with Vlad the favourite I would think.

As for Texas with the worst record, I checked and if there was one consensus among Bauxites, it was that Texas would finish last. 3 said 3rd place, and about 85 said 4th and last. Congratulations to those who prognosticated Texas ahead of Seattle.
