Now that I have analyzed every roster over past month I am ready to make my 2014 predictions. In the past I have been pretty good a picking 5-or-6 playoffs teams with always two horrendous missteps. If I could get anything right it would be my World Series winner, but I know a July trade or significant injury will shape the season in a way that I cannot calculate at this point.
In the past I backed off picking teams with a rookie manager, but Mike Matheny and the Cards changes my mind on that. There is enough talent in the Nation's Captial and or that reason...
