Top Rookies
This mans team had the best record in baseball and the top pitching staff, which helped propel them to the World Series. He was in the thick of it with a regular season ERA that would be fourth-best in the NL if he had enough innings to qualify.
Tony Gonsolin (Los Angeles)
All that the Twins was asking from him, who is recovering from left elbow surgery was, say, a dozen starts. Now, they’re hopeful he’ll be ready for Opening Day, and given his 2.91 ERA the past five seasons, he might just elevate a solid rotation to another level. In the AL Central race, he could be a difference-maker.
Rich Hill (Minnesota)
Won the world series (Those idiots don't, however deserve it)
LA Dodgers
Known as the WORST MLB teams, they need to shape up, as they now have lost top players Josh Bell and Joe Musgrove.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Arenado from Rockies to
Cardinals
Though he scuffled in September, he still led all rookies in total bases (90) and tied for the lead in home runs while playing center field every day for the his team.
Kyle Lewis (Seattle)
He had a disappointing first season with the Mets with a .736 OPS that was more than 100 points below his career average. Despite 53 home runs from Pete Alonso, the Mets were seventh in the NL in runs, and getting a big year from Canó would go a long way toward getting them back in the postseason.
Robinson Cano (New York)
This team had the top two players in batting average (hint, an ALDS team)
New York Yankees
This team hosted the WS in their new and improved field, but they seem to score last in the NL west every year.
Texas Rangers
Archer from Pittsburgh to
Tampa Bay
He began the year as a super-utility player and ended it as one of the most productive second basemen in baseball, with his .831 OPS ranking third among all players at the position.
Jake Cronenworth (San Diego)
Only five teams scored fewer runs than Cincinnati in 2019, and the front office did its part by adding Nick Castellanos, Mike Moustakas and Shogo Akiyama to the lineup. Now the Reds need to get their superstar back to normalcy after his worst season. He showed up early for Spring Training 1.0 for the first time and said he was as excited about this season as he’d been in a long time. Here’s betting he has a monster season.
Joey Votto (Cincinnati)
Yadier Molina will be starting his 2000th career game for this undeserving team
St Louis Cardinals
This team has had some new additions as of the 2019 off-season but lost a player (not allowed to go into detail who) due to colon cancer, but is to return soon👍
Baltimore Orioles
Schwarber from Chicago to
Cincinnati
He gave up one earned run all year, back in his second outing on July 27, and allowed just eight hits and struck out 17.67 per nine thanks largely to a ridiculous changeup
Devin Williams (Milwaukee)
He was invaluable to the 2019 World Series champions in playing four positions and then hitting the two biggest home runs of the postseason. With Anthony Rendon having departed via free agency and Ryan Zimmerman choosing not to play, while he will be vital to the Nationals’ chances of repeating
Howie Kendrick (Washington)
This team has won the NL East three consecutive times
Atlanta Braves
This team was the early 2000s best team, and always were first or second in line for the WS Championship, now the find themselves stuck with pitiful new age players that sit dead last in the NL West.👎
Arizona Diamondbacks
J Alvarado from Tampa Bay to
Philadelphia
Yes, he slumped at the end of the year, but he still led all rookies in RBIs, stolen bases (9) and tied for the rookie lead with Lewis in home runs while finishing second in total bases (88).
Luis Robert (Chicago)
He injured his left hamstring running the bases in the Cubs’ home opener last season and never really hit his stride in what turned into one of his most frustrating seasons. He’s healthy again, and even with Yu Darvish and Kyle Hendricks taking the top spots in the Cubs’ rotation, he is again one of the keys to a playoff run.
Jon Lester (Chicago)
With big additions to their team in 2019, they are looking to take the NL West and maybe the world series. And hopefully will welcome the Dodgers into reality where they don't win every game.
San Diego Padres
This team never really has had anything to celebrate about since their 2003 WS win, but after the 2019 off-season, the have a lot to look up and hope for as new additions to the team might lead them to a winning season.
Miami Marlins (Jesus Aguilar venezuelan not Chinese)
Betts from Boston to
LA (Dodgers) (Note the Dodgers are💩)
