Fantasy Baseball: Random Predictions for 2012 Season

Here are some fantasy predictions to clip and save before the Cardinals and Marlins christen Miami's gleaming new stadium on Wednesday night.

Instead of the usual loathsome responses to a particular item from The Fantasy Blog, I ask that our readers include their own projected leaders for the individual categories/awards (below) in the comments section.

By season's end, we'll tally things up and see who had the greatest foresight for 2012. Perhaps I'll even find room in the budget to honor the most prescient prognosticator.
