Believe it or not, we're just over a week away from the start of the 2012 baseball season. It's actually starting on a technicality of sorts since the Mariners and A's play in Japan for three games before the rest of the league kicks off the following week. I don't really like the idea of a single series in Japan to "start" the season, but I'm not Bud Selig. (There's plenty other stuff I'd change that Selig has incorporated to baseball, namely making the All-Star Game determine home field advantage in the World Series, but that's for another time.)
Anyway, here are my division title winners and major awards that, if my March Madness and previous MLB season predictions are any indication, will be horribly wrong by season's end.

NL East Champ: Philadelphia Philliles
NL Central Champ: Cincinatti Reds
