The best of the New York papers, it goes well beyond the predictions for the Mets and Yankees.
Veteran columnist George Vecsey compares special features at Citi Field to the Polo Grounds.
The main items consist of a profile of Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay with smaller items on Bobby Cox, who’s now in his 50th year in the pros, and how trades made later in a season are contemplated early on. The fun stuff: How pitchers and batters who get off to a fast start end up; approaching major statistical milestones.
And two features on how the baby boomer baseball card collector is adjusting to the 21st century. And John Smoltz, future pro golfer?
NY Times predictions, Division winners/wild card:
AL: Yankees, Royals (!), Angeles, Red Sox
NL: Mets, Cubs, Dodgers, Phillies
World series: Cubs over Yankees

who wrote the baseball preview that predicted zach Greinke would win the cy young and that the royals would win the al central division. even in kc local media did not have greinke anywhere near what his record is. How does a Times reporter know what KC Star reporters should have been telling us but didn’t…it’s their full time job!!!What’s the guy’s name and how does he evaluate pitching talent.
