McCABE MAGAZINE'S leagueSEASON 22 PREVIEW

The Baltimore Orioles wins the World Series 4-3 over the New York Mets

Cincinnati, OH (McC) The team here at McCabe Magazine have finally completed this years baseball preview issue. We would like to thank all the contributors and front office folks that help make this years publication come to life. we spent the entire off season looks at the 40-man rosters of each major league team and their minor league prospects. This years season previews were not as easy as past seasons however, we finally agreed that the best club from top to bottom was the Baltimore Orioles.

The Playoff Teams

The Orioles have an All-Decade selection, Diego Hernandez  in centerfield, arguably the best centerfielder to ever play the game. 4-time All-Star Santos Martin (P), Sliver-Slugger award winner Kris Guerrero at shortstop, former Cy Young award winner Matt Sandberg (P), and first ballot Hall of Famer George Brantley at third-base. This team is loaded and should easily win the American League East by 10 games over the New York Yankees. The Orioles will knock off the Toronto Blue Jays in the league championship 4 games to 2.

In the senior circuit it came down to the San Diego Padres and the New York Mets. we decided to go with the New York Mets to defend their World Series title. What can we say about this roster that hasn't been said before? The roster includes season's 21 National league Most Valuable Player, Quinton Bryne (2B), first ballot Hall of Famer and 8 time MVP Tony Cortes (LF), 9 time All-Star Steven Starr (CF), Shawn Bunch (P) who has 91 wins in 4 major league seasons, and setup man Kid Priddy with 61 or more appearances the last 4 years.

The division winners in the AL will be the Orioles, Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. NL division winners the Mets, Padres, Atlanta Braves, and the Chicago Cubs. Wildcard teams in the AL will be the New York Yankees and the Anaheim Angels. NL wildcard winners, Colorado Rockies and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
