Detroit Tigers 2019 Team preview

It’s hard to believe that the Tigers had Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, Justin Verlander, and Max Scherzer and never won a World Series. They never even won a World Series game (lost 4-0 to Giants in 2012.) Now, the Tigers are in a full rebuild. Cabrera is the only remaining star from those great teams and he is very quickly fading away. So what do they look like now? Let’s dig into the 2019 Detroit Tigers.

Los Angeles Dodgers Season Preview

The Dodgers made it back to the World Series last season but fell short yet again. This time to the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox were able to cruise past the Dodgers and defeat them in five games. In the previous season, the Houston Astros beat the Dodgers in seven games. Could the third time be the charm for LA?

Texas Rangers Team Preview

Getting ready to unveil a new stadium with a retractable roof to open the 2020 season, the Rangers are hoping they can close the book on their current one in winning fashion. The Rangers have hired former Major League infielder, Chris Woodward to be the teams’ new manager. Let’s take a look at what to expect from Woodward’s 2019 Texas Rangers.

MLB Players Who Could Slump in 2019

We see it every year. A player who has been good during the course of his career has a down year. It happens. Last year, it was Eric Hosmer, Kris Bryant (for his standards), and Jake Arrieta. Who will it be this year? No one can know for sure, but I will definitely give my input (with the help of other members of the Scorecrow team).

Seattle Mariners Team Preview

The Seattle Mariners had a very promising 2018 season, albeit not good enough to secure a playoff birth. They finished with an 89-73 record, 14 games back of division leaders, the Houston Astros. They fell short of a Wild Card position to division foe, the Oakland Athletics who were eight games better.

Cincinnati Reds: 2019 Season Preview

It was another atrocious season for the Reds last year. The Reds have been consistently terrible for the last four seasons, winning between 64-68 games in each of those seasons. The obvious problem last year was starting pitcher.

Miami Marlins: Team Preview

It’s hard to believe that the Marlins once had Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, J.T. Realmuto, and Jose Fernandez on the same team and have not been to the playoffs since they defeated the Yankees in the 2003 World Series. Side note, it’s pretty amazing that they have been to the playoffs twice in their existence, and won the world series both times.

Arizona Diamondbacks: 2019 Team Preview

It was yet another year of mediocrity for the Arizona Diamondbacks. I didn’t expect a lot from this team, to be honest, but it must be frustrating for Diamondbacks fans for their team to constantly be second or third in their division. In 2017, they finally made the playoffs (as a wildcard) for the first time since 2011, in which they lost in the divisional round to the Dodgers.

Tampa Bay Rays: Team Preview

The Tampa Bay Rays are trending upward. After finishing 3rd in the AL East at 90-72 and Kevin Cash finishing 3rd in voting for Manager of the Year, the Rays are trying to show the world they are for real.  But playing in one of the toughest divisions in baseball and having to face the Red Sox and the Yankees on a regular basis will keep this team humble and force them to be patient. But no matter the division, the Rays are putting together the pieces to be competitive for years to come.

Minnesota Twins Team Preview

The Minnesota Twins have been up and down the past few years. In a weak AL Central, they may have a shot at the playoffs if things go right. Let’s take a look at the boys up north and if fans will have something to cheer about at Target Field this year.
