Draft Advice: Tips on player picks and team-building.
#8621
As we gear up for the 2025 MLB season, the excitement is palpable, especially with the American League landscape looking as competitive as ever. Each team has its strengths and weaknesses, and the debates are already heating up about who will make the playoffs and who will fall short.

Let’s dive into some bold predictions and open the floor for discussion.

First off, can we talk about the Baltimore Orioles? With a young core that has already tasted playoff success, they seem poised for another run. But can their pitching hold up without Corbin Burnes? If Grayson Rodriguez struggles again, will their offense be enough to carry them?

On the flip side, the New York Yankees are facing a tough road ahead after losing Gerrit Cole. Can Aaron Judge and the newly acquired bats step up to fill the void? Or will the lack of pitching depth be their downfall?

And what about the Toronto Blue Jays? I’m calling it now: they’re my pick to win the AL East. With the addition of Anthony Santander and a bounce-back year from Bo Bichette, they could be a force. But can their aging rotation hold up throughout the season?

Let’s not forget the Chicago White Sox, who had a historically bad season last year. Is there any hope for them to turn it around, or are they destined for another disappointing finish?

I want to hear your thoughts! Which teams do you think are primed for a surprise playoff run? Are there any players you believe will break out or fall flat this season? Let’s get the conversation going!
