Back to the old prediction business. Only one irate fan questioned my parentage after the AJL picks last week, so I must not be doing my job. On the other hand, baseball has never been that big a deal in the western part of the VS., so maybe nobody really cares. (Now that might provoke some comment even if it is true-. I always found the baseball box scores somewhere below Tank Mc.Namara in the "Register Guard," but that's understandable given the absence of any major-league teams in the Northwest. A couple of general observations on the Senior Circuit balance has been the by-word the last five years or so, and this year looks to be no different. There are no dominant teams, but there are plenty of one who could challenge. Since 1979, all the N.L. teams except the Mets, Cubs, Giants and Padres have made the playoffs. Reduce that number by one more, and here we go: N.L. West: (1) San Diego The Padres have finally added the ingredients that have been missing the last year or two. The addition of Nettles and Gossage to a good mix of vets and rookies should send the Pads to the top. Watch for McReynolds and Martinez to have an effect as rookies. (2) Los Angeles Why not? The Dodgers are still a solid club, and probably will challenge. This team is in transition, and needs a few more leaders. Pitching has been declining steadily in recent years. Billy Russell just doesn't Ct the mold of taking LA to the top. (3) San Francisco The Giants made great strides in the closing days of winter. Adding Al Oliver and the possible pickup of Dusty Baker make the Giants much better. If the young arms keep coming on the 49'ers might have some competition for once. (4) Atlanta The Braves are a very iffy team. Uncertainty over the status of Pascual Perez and the loss of Phil Niekro make the Braves pitching highly suspect. No questioning the ability of Horner and Murphy, but there are too many holes for these guys. (5) Cincinnati As much as I hate to pick Houston last, I can't (on principle) pick my Reds to finish last. Sentiment is probably the main key here, but the Machine is improved. Addition of Parker and Perez cant hurt. Look for Mario Soto to win the Cy Young. (6) Houston Many people pick the Astros to win it all, and maybe they will. I still don't see how an offenseless team can win a pennant. The pitching isn't that good, either. Somebody has to finish last other than the Reds we already took our turn. N.L. East: (1) Montreal Can Pete Rose really lead to the first truly World Series? You bet. I question the trade of Al Oliver, but this team is due to win. Carter, Dawson, etc. are ready to put it all together, and now they have the superglue they need. Could use pitching. (2) Pittsburgh The Pirates are probably the best balanced team in the division. Good bullpen, young starters, solid infield the Bucs will definitely challenge. As much as I admire Chuck Tanner (who will someday be regarded as Earl Weaver is now) the Pirates are No. two. (3) St. Louis The Cards stood too pat after a bad '83 campaign. Bruce Sutter can't do it alone, and may be less than he has been. Cards need Andujar to have good year, as well as continued improvement of Herr, Van Slyke, etc. if they are to finish on top. Too many ifs. (4) Philadelphia Big slide for the Phils. Fourth in this division won't be too far off and the pace, however. Youngsters like Samuel and Matuszek will be legit big -leaguers, but not enough this year. Loss of Morgan, Rose and Perez isn't as easy as the Phils are trying to say. (5) Chicago The Cubbies and the Mets are really 5 and 5a, but give the nod to the Wrigley boys. All the wheeling and dealing means the Cubs still have a grumbling Bill Buckner, and the rest are "hopefulls." If Lee Smith's arm doesn't fall off, the Cubs should claim fifth. (6) New York Youngsters Strawberry, Dwight Gooderi, Ron Darling, etc. all may someday be the next wave of junior Joe DiDaggio's but not yet. As we all know, every ballplayer of marginal talent who plays in the Big Apple could start a paper drive with press clippings-but not about pennant races, at least this year. Anyone who mails these to me in October will receive an autographed copy of the predictions I made in 1977, which were almost correct, and which have a shelf -life of four more years.
