8. I watched Abraham Nunez replace Scott Rolen in 2005 and the Cardinals won 105 games.

The NL Central is pretty wide open. (When I made my initial list in the OP, I really thought the Cardinals were going to dominate.)

If Votto comes back and plays like he can, I think the Reds are in it. He should be back right while the Cardinals are really noticing the lack of Molina at and behind the plate.

Milwaukee (until recently) has been playing way above their skill levels. I expect them to crash.

Pittsburgh could turn it around with the right trade, but I don't know what that would be. Their bullpen is not what I predicted in February.

The Cubs are Cubs--Though one day Epstein will field a team that can win at Fenway... Oh wait...
