Alright, let's hear them.  Best prediction that comes to pass will win a lovely parting gift from @Chuckster70.  (Note: I haven't cleared that with Chuck yet, so don't tell him)

Bonus points given for degree of difficulty. 

 

UPDATE:  Somehow word leaked out to Chuck and he has confirmed the winner will receive $100!!!

Ha, all good @Geoff.

$100 to the winner. If there are tied we'll have a tiebreaker contest to determine the winner.

Otani pitches a no hitter, wins 20 games before being moved to RF and goes on to hit 714 Hrs in his career

Since money is on the line let me be serious with my prediction:

Trout, Upton, Simmons, and Ohtani makes the All Star gane.  Trout wins the MVP, and Angels win the division.

That could actually happen....3 OF'ers, Pujols, Cozart, Kinsler and Ohtani....maybe Cron or Valbuena too if they get enough AB's...

[m0nkey]

Angels sweep the marlins in the world series

[Stradling]

Skaggs and Heaney will have healthy years and establish themselves as solid number 2/3 starters.  

[Spirit]

Mike Trout hits 42 HRs, has 122 RBIs and wins his first Gold Glove

Love the Ohtani, Upton, Kinsler and Cozart additions but if that happens, we're on our way....

[ettin]

Three Angels relievers (most likely Parker, Bedrosian, and Johnson BARRING a trade) will have ERA's below 3.00.

[Cosmo_Kramer]

Ohtani wins ROY.

Ohtani is top 5 in CY.

Trout wins MVP.

5 players receive MVP votes.

Angels win division.

[Second Base]

My first one is official, this one is just dicking around...

Ohtani gets third in MVP voting, Trout gets first with a 50 HR 30 SB season. Upton comes back to earth and his numbers are tick below his career averages. Pujols stays healthy for a full year, and his more slender physique leads to a better BA/OBP. Kinsler takes over at leadoff, posts a .350 OBP. Hermosillo works his way into a 4th OF and by the end of the year is platooning with Calhoun in RF.

Richards has a resurgent year before free agency, Heaney and Tropeano have solid years, Barria firmly entrenches himself as a mid rotation starter.

Jim Johnson, Blake Parker, Key Middleton, JC Ramirez and Eduardo Paredes form the best bullpen unit in the AL with Ramirez and Paredes both going multiple innings.

[JAHV76]

Richards wins Cy Young award and Upton wins AL MVP.

[Fish Oil]

Cozart puts up >7.0 WAR and is 3rd in MVP voting

[Troll Daddy]

Pujols

.300/.350/.500/.900

Anything over qualifies  extra points for degree of difficulty

The Rally Monkey is amused.

Pretty bold! I'll be curious to see if last year's breakout is sustainable. He'd been trending in that direction and his swing has changed in the way he explained. Obviously Angel Stadium won't play as friendly and Cincy, but he could come close.

[Docwaukee]

Cron will hit 30 hrs and have an ops over .800.  

Shoe posts an era below 3.2 in 180ip.  

[Dick B Back]

1. Trout puts up great numbers.

2. Upton, Cozart and Kinsler all do as well or better than expected.

3. No major injuries to the piching staff.

4. Angels win the WS.

5. Trout wins MVP.

6. Sosh wins Manager of the year.

7. AnaheimBob disappears.

Hopefully that $100 will be worth a lot more by the time he hits #714.
