Most of BP Boston got together to predict the 2017 season, with the exception of one very sunburnt Matt Kory. Bush league, Matt. Gotta bring that sunscreen to Cactus League games.

- Four teams are unanimous picks for their division, with just the two-man carousel in the NL East and the AL West party getting different results.
- Of the Astros, Blue Jays, Mariners, and Rangers, one’s gotta go. With our staff, it’s usually the Mariners. Sorry, Seattle.
- Devereaux says the AL MVP award should be named after Trout from now on, and I can’t disagree.
- He also said the NL Cy Young should just be named after Kershaw as well. See above reaction.
- Slavin’s Margot pick for NL ROY is, as he tells it, “the first dose of retribution for Trader Dave”. That one made me laugh.
