NL predictions
MVPBryce Harper,
Nationals
Perhaps it's too soon to expect the phenom to be a league MVP at 21 -- even Mike Trout couldn't do that. But why not, right? The kid is blessed with talent and has filled out his frame.
Cy YoungClayton Kershaw, Dodgers
It's safe to go with the reigning award winner, who already is a two-time recipient at age 26. It also was safe to pick Greg Maddux every year in the mid-1990s.
Top rookieGregory Polanco, Pirates
Once he makes it to the majors, he'll complete Pittsburgh's talented outfield trio (2013 MVP Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte). Like Wil Myers in the AL last year, he won't need a full season to earn the hardware.
Top managersMatt Williams,
Nationals
First manager firedTerry Collins, Mets
