Highlights

7. The Most Valuable Player Award winners will be Lorenzo Cain and Jason Heyward.

9. A White Sox lefty will win the AL Cy Young Award, and it won't be Chris Sale.

10. Finally, the pick you've been waiting awaiting. Here it is: The Cubs will break one of their droughts, if not the Big One.

Griffey being the first unanimous Hall of Famer is the only one I absolutely can't see happening. The others are all possible, if not likely.

140 public ballots have been reported and he has been on every one... 475 were mailed out but not all voters vote.. would be amazing if he gets 100%

I love Quintana, but I don't think he gets much better. Maybe they'll catch the ball when he's on the hill a little bit this season and his ERA will fall but he's not going to be Chris Sale.

Keep in mind the title of this piece is BOLD predictions... so they are long shots or they would not be BOLD.

I don't think he meant Quintana.

Might want to actually read the article. :wink:

Quote:

This is no knock on Sale, but his wingman, Jose Quintana, is ready for a breakout season. King of the no-decision over the past four seasons, Quintana has somehow never won double-digit games in a season. However, he does have a 3.46 ERA while throwing 200-plus innings three years in a row. Quintana could emerge as the top starter in Chicago, quite a feat given that the cast includes Sale, Jake Arrieta, Jon Lester, John Lackey and prodigy Carlos Rodon.

Rodgers is in that Levine group of Chicago reporters whose every word should be looked at with skepticism.
