Evan Brunell’s 2010 MLB Predictions: Does Boston win it?

As the advent of spring training games are upon us, I thought I'd kick off everyone's favorite little exercise by providing my own personal predictions as to how I think the season will shake out. Now, before I do so, a word of caution: predictions can change daily based on events. Heck, my predictions change multiple times a week. But I've gotta make predictions at some point, right? Point being, I might disagree with my own predictions a week from now. Most of the time, these kind of predictions are an exercise in fallacy, but it's not going to stop me from trying. I don't know why I made things harder on myself, but I set out to present an exact record. This means I had to go into a spreadsheet and make sure all the wins and losses totaled the correct amount of games while also balancing out to a .500 record. Took me a while, but dadgum it, I did it. One thing I did not control for was the unbalanced schedule (in a total record sense), but I already strained my tenuous math skills, so I wasn't about to complicate it further.

Vazquez claimed by Padres, Day by Rays

The San Diego Padres claimed starting pitcher Virgil Vazquez, 26, off waivers fromt he Red Sox today. Vazquez pitched 16.2 innings for the Detroit Tigers in 2007, amassing a 8.97 ERA in five games, three of them starts.The Red Sox had claimed Vazquez off waivers from the Tigers in October. The depth chart is updated.

UPDATE: Reliever Dewon Day was also claimed off waivers, this time by the Tampa Bay Rays. Day was claimed off waivers from the Chicago White Sox in October. He got lit up in 12 innings at the big league level in 2007. He has decent stuff but poor command.
