2010 MLB Preview - The NL West Gets Weaker

PROJECTED STANDINGS:

1. Colorado Rockies

2. San Francisco Giants
3. Los Angeles Dodgers
4. Arizona Diamondbacks
5. San Diego Padres


The Rockies ended last season right on the heals of the Dodgers, and almost pulled out the Division title. In the offseason, they lost Yorvit Torrealba, but added Miguel Olivo to take his place. They largely kept the rest of the team intact. Below them, the Giants added some strong talent to go along with Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum and could contend this year. After that, it looks like a car wreck in progress. The Dodgers and Padres are both hamstrung by the divorces of their owners, and neither added much talent in the offseason. The Diamondbacks added youth to a team on the way up. They probably won't do much this season, but could be a spoiler down the stretch and will most likely keep improving every year.
