Who will win the NL West this year?

Dodgers will win their 3rd straight this season

Rockies. They're incredibly underrated, but they have the best team going into the season. Their pitching staff should be good with Jeff Francis coming back from injury and Ubaldo Jiminez getting even better. Other young players like Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez should improve as well with the big league experience they've accumulated, and Try Tulowitzki is one of the best players in baseball. Remember, the Rockies won 92 games last season, and that was after their awful start to the season. They haven't lost any key players, have very few old ones who are in danger of declining, and a young, improving core. When you contrast that to the issues plaguing other NL West clubs like Arizona (injury concerns, last year's poor record), Los Angeles (the ownership situation and so-so offseason) and San Francisco (mediocre defense and an offense that consists entirely of Pablo Sandoval), Colorado should be considered the favorite in the division. It should still be a close race, though, and I would only be surprised if San Diego somehow won.

Giants. No one in the NL West can match up with that deadly duo at the top of their rotation plus their offense has only gotten better with the experience Sandoval has gotten.

its kinda problematical to tell precise now. i think of your precise approximately it being an extensive race for a collectively as yet finally somebody will shy away and that i think of that somebody is the dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers.

the padres will be the surprise team this year and will win the NL West because they have upgraded their team with the pitching and when the offense clicks this is a team to be reckoned with

2010 definitely a GIANT year. Dodgers don't have the pitching staff to make it, 2 new potent bats in SF line-up will secure the spot

Dodgers, I guess. I root for the Giants

Dodgers (Best outfield with Ethier, Kemp, Manny)

Standings at the end of the year..

1.) Dodgers (kershaw, Ethier, Kemp)
2.) Giants (have Lincecum)
3.) Rockies (Not really anyone but had a good comeback last year)
4.) Diamondbacks (weak only have Reynolds)
5.) Padres (weak only have Gonzalez)

i like the rockies, though the dodgers and giants will also be up there. overall i feel they have a more solid, consistent team than the dodgers or giants. giants lack good hitting and a solid bullpen. dodgers have great hitting, kemp is going to have a break out year like ethier had, but their pitching doesnt really stand out. if billingsley and kershaw can get good consistent starts i like them, but after those two guys who else really stands out in the rotation?

top to bottom, the rockies have great hitting and pitching and play great D

Dodgers or Giants.
