Leon Jackson - Cobbfather Post Gazette w/ special correspondent Shenaynay from the Psychic Friends network.

It's time for your in-depth season preview for Cobbfather Season 3. Not only will you get analysis from the Gazette, but you'll get sound predicitions from world reknown psychic Shenaynay from the Psychic Friends Network. We've got a lot of ground to cover, so let's get right into running down the AL West.

AL WEST

4. Kansas City Tweakers
Last Season: 58-104

Shenaynay’s crystal ball: is dark and cloudy, with a light shining in the distance.

Gazette says: The former Colorado Beer Bashers, now under new ownership, will be a rebuilding project for a few seasons. Getting out of Colorado was a good first step in the rebuilding process. Look for new ownership to continue tweaking the team, to turn the franchise around.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 60-102, 4th place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 150-1

3. San Diego Burgundy
Last Season: 62-100

Shenaynay’s crystal ball: shows the winds of change blowing rapidly through the forest swaying branches from left to right.

Gazette says: San Diego has its 3rd owner in 3 seasons, and its biggest need is stability and direction. It will be another year of transition for San Diego, as they continue to seek out their identity.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 65-97, 3rd place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 125-1

2. Arizona Archaeologists
Last Season: 73-89

Shenaynay’s crystal ball: shows a nomad in the dry, hot desert, slowly approaching the oasis.

Gazette says: The franchise’s ML record has improved each season, and we see this franchise continuing to make strides this season under new ownership. Arizona isn’t spectacular, but they don’t have any glaring weaknesses either.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 80-82, 2nd place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 40-1

1. Oakland Brusiers
Last Season: 87-75

Shenaynay’s crystal ball: shows a warrior standing on top of a mountain, warding off his foes

Gazette says: Oakland won the division the last two seasons under the previous ownership, and we don’t see it changing this season. Oakland has the best offense in the division, and good enough pitching to hold the rest of the divison off.

Psychic Friends Network prediction: 90-72, 1st place
Vegas Odds to win it all: 10-1
