I think I would be surprised if the Sox won the division, I believe they are going to have starting pitching issues most of the year (I have probably guaranteed with that statement for the Sox to have four 20 game winners). Last time I made a prediction that they weren't going to be very good they went on to win the Series so what do I know.
Rest of the AL looks good, but I would put the Sox down for 80-84 wins with Iguchi around 15 hrs, and I think you are off by at least 25% with Sosa. I hate the idea of a DH winning MVP.

Hard to predict the NL Central, a 500 team could win that one. If the Cubs get average pitching they could be in that mix. Sheets can't win the Cy Young because Zambrano has already called it for himself. Plus Sheets should be on the Cubs, lots of potential that never comes to fruition. I think I will put the Cubs down for 82 wins. Lilly and Marguis for 28 wins combined.

Please anything other than the Yankees as world series winners.
