	I think it will be a tough race between the Cubs and the Brewers one key for both team will be to limit injuries which is plaqueing my Cubbies right now.

	I almost certainly think the race will once again be between the Cubs and the Brewers. I answered Brewers. I like their offense even BETTER than last year's and they're bullpen is rebuilt, and a lot better. I believe with Ben Sheets staying healthy and Gallardo pitching a whole season and underrated Villanueva in the rotation the Brewers can do it. They also have Ryan Braun for a whole season, and hopefully Corey Hart can play the whole year as well.

	You are right ckrohn23. The Brewers will win the NL Central by over 5 games. They have a better lineup all the way through than any team in the NL Central. They have a deeper bench, better starting pitching, and better bullpen. The key is if everyone stays healthy for the full year and stays hot. Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun will be fighting each other for the MVP this year.

	I also said the Crew but I think it will be a very close N. L. Central Brewers win 98 games the Cubs win 95 the Reds fade late in the season and win 83 games I think the Crew has better starting pitching. I think the offences between the Crew the Cubs and the Reds are close going in this order Cubs slight edge over the Crew then the Reds. Bullpens of the teams in the end will be key to whom wins between the Brewers and Cubs. Reds biggest question mark I would say is starting pitching.

	I see the winner of the division winning 92 games with 2nd place being 2 games behind. The Brewers have the best lineup in the division; they were the best last season and they got stronger with the addition of Mike Cameron and the AVG of Kendall. This team is going to strike out a lot again though, but I don't think runs will be at a premium. I think the bullpen is much improved, but not everybody sees it that way. We will just have to let it play itself out. We know the Cubs bullpen is great but both the Brewers and Cubs have some question marks in the rotation.

	The Brewers will slug - you've gotta love their young talent. Their starting pitching gives them more than a puncher's chance. The questions are the defense and the bull pen. Despite the moves they have made that effect those areas, they remain unanawered questions
