- Tommy Hanson will finish in the top 5 of NL Cy Young voting.
- Roy Halladay will end up winning the award.
- Rajai Davis will swipe 50 bases. Rickey Henderson said so. That makes it fact.

- Max Scherzer will strikeout 200 in his first real major league season.
- Despite his impressive Spring, Stephen Strasburg will underwhelm when he makes it to the majors.
- Adam Laroche will have 84 articles written about how good he is after the All-Star Break and his trade value at that point will be completely unreasonable.

- Manny Ramirez will hit the most homers out of any Dodgers outfielder.
- Josh Hamilton will redeem himself, and remind people why he was a top-30 pick last year.

- Barry Zito will become fantasy relevant this year.
- Kendry Morales will be a top 5 first baseman in next year's drafts.
- The AL Rookie of the Year will go to Brian Matusz after winning 15 games for a mediocre Orioles team.
- Justin Morneau will drive in 120 runs again.
- A minor league team will follow through on the Tim Lincecum bobblehead idea and use real hair to emulate one of their players.
