I'm reading good things about him this season... plus he was my first pick in a fantasy draft, so I could really, really use a big season. As for the Marlins, I hate everything about the way the franchise is run - though hopefully the new stadium convinces Loria to put a buck or two into the team now and then - but that team has some of the best young pitching nobody has ever heard of. Josh Johnson, Ricky Nolasco, Chris Volstad, Anibal Sanchez -- if Andrew Miller puts it together at all, that rotation is five deep, young and extremely talented. Put that together with Hanley, Uggla and your Maybin R.O.Y. pick, and I don't think Wild Card is that big of a reach. We'll soon find out. .292, 37 and 127 in a year in which everyone said he was fat and out of shape.

I can maybe - maybe - see picking the Marlins as your NL Wildcard. But Miguel Cabrera as the AL MVP? That is a bold call, Dude. Ok, Andy.
