MLB Predictions: 10 Sizzling Baseball Takes For 2015 Season (Photos)

The Major League Baseball season is almost here. Let’s throw crap at the wall.

Making predictions always ends up being a fruitless exercise, as it really just opens the door for outside criticism and relentless heckling. But since yours truly is immune to both of those activities, let’s rattle off some sizzling sports takes before the 2015 season begins.

The following predictions are simply that: predictions. They’re the products of one man’s brain working in mysterious ways, and it probably wouldn’t be wise to bet your bank account on each one manifesting itself, though it is a free country.

Since we like to spice things up at NESN.com, you should be warned that a few of these predictions might sound bold, fearless and/or unlikely. But please, oh please, don’t call them stupid. Each one is based on sound logic.

So, what does the future hold for Cole Hamels? Will Alex Rodriguez finally go away? Who will win the Home Run Derby?

Those topics and more are discussed in this year’s MLB predictions.
