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.

With as much hate Sosh gets on this board you should get more than a 100 if your right on on #6

[Stradling]

AnaheimBob won’t disappear.  He will be pissed it took the Angels 6 games to win the WS, that they would have swept the Cubs if he wasn’t outmanaged by Madden and that they won in-spite of Sosh.  

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I predict AnaheimBob becomes Scioscia's biggest fan. That should be worth a $100 all by itself.

Pujols

.300/.350/.500/.900

Anything over qualifies  extra points for degree of difficulty 

 

Nice math.

[tdawg87]

Trout hits 50 homeruns, wins the triple crown and my balls collapse into a singularity.

[tdawg87]

Pujols comes up with a playoff spot on the line, and the Angelswin collective anus puckers enough to crush coal into a diamond. 

Chuck gets a gnarly necklace.

[Keener]

Pujols finally grounds into a 7-3 putout.

Honest, Angels #1 in team defense.

No pitcher on the team reaches 20 saves, but the team wins the division.

[IEAngelsfan]

Both Richards and Othani win 20 games.

Pujols gets 3 infield hits.

Lou won't agree with anyone.

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.

I originally wrote >6.0 WAR and 8th in MVP voting but I decided to raise my degree of difficulty points. I want that $100  

[angelfan61]

Ohtani wins 13 and hits 23 HR.

left side of infield win gold glove.

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

And sets a WS record for scoreless innings while calling his shot in the same game.

Nice math.

New math still sucks!

[jangel7]

Pujols .270/ 30 HR/ 100 RBI

Blake Parker 30+ saves

Maldonado 20 HRs

[wopphil]

Some potentially realistic predictions that could go a long way toward making the team a real division threat:

Calhoun bounces back with a .280/.340/.440/.780 line. 

Pujols bounces back with a .260/.320/.480/.800 line. 

Cron finally puts it together with a .280/.340/.500/.840 line. 

Kinsler, Upton, and Trout all put up career average years. This, combined with improvement from Cron, Calhoun and Pujols, gives the Angels a top 3 offense in the AL.

Richards is healthy and effective - 160 innings with a 3.50 ERA.

Skaggs and Heaney both post sub-4 ERAs over 150 innings each. 

Bedrosian and Parker dominate. 

 

 

[Dtwncbad]

Shoemaker starts the year in the bullpen and thrives as a beast innings eater pitching in 80 games.

[Tank]

Richards, Heany, and Skaggs all have at least 24 starts.

Pujols has 100 rbis again.

calhoun and Cron both hit 20+ homers.

the Angels make it to the ALCS.

Trout is a 30/30 guy.

Cozart hits less than .250

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Pujols gets 3000 hits and 2000 RBIs and announces he will retire at end of season.

Richards has 2.75 ERA.

[popo85]

Cozart/Kinsler/Otani will each hit over 15 homers

Upton will drive in 115 runs

Trout will win MVP with over 40 homers

Jahami Jones,Jo Adell and Brandon Marsh will make the top 100 prospects

[zenmaster]

We have the Cy Young winner on our team not named Ohtani or Richards. 

[Ohtaniland]

Mike Trout will be a Home Run Derby participant and Ohtani will be voted into the All Star Game as a DH.

That should be worth $200 Chuck.

[JarsOfClay]

Ohtani wins MVP and ROY, and Cy Young.

Pujols knees can no longer support his weight and shatter into pieces, placing him on the DL for most of the season.

Angels win 95 games and win the AL west.

Cozart goes on DL, and Cowart replaces him and hits .275 with 15 homers and 75 rbi.

Ohtani pitches no hitter in his first ever start, worth $200 Chuck.

Those are not risky predictions in the least, and I believe you only get one guess.

so sue me. i have a friend who's judge and will side in my favor and you'll owe me millions.

i'm also teaching my daughter to drive right now, and that's all the risk i'm up for these days.
