NL Roundup
Same story, different league.
While the NL East is pretty varied, with each team represented at least at one position (even if 3B may have been due to free agency), the other two are not quite the same. With the Brewers and Cubs showing up a lot in the Central and the Dodgers dominating the NL West selections, this should come as little surprise to those that looked at the standings last season.
Well, there you have it. I will also be doing an updated version of this list in a couple months as we get closer to the season’s beginning, but until then, may the stove stay forever hot and spring arrive sooner than ever.
