Too lazy to throw in projections for the moment, but this is what the three-time defending NL Central and defending NL Champs look like as we head into 2012.

The #3 mystery starter turned out to be Arn Anderson, but he would turn on the Pirates midseason by DDTing Tim Lincecum on the mound, allowing Adam Wainwright to make the pin and the Cardinals to be victorious

Updated with Rays and Indians zips. Probably my best lineup I've taken into opening day, and it should only get better as I expect Choo, Longoria, Trout and Butler to all continue to improve.

Updated through Rangers projections. Much happier with my bullpen now that I know Nathan has a nice projection.

I don't see the Rangers zips yet. How do you get them them before anyone else?

They're out, just not showing up on the front page. Either get to it through twitter link or click Marlins and on the right side where the last commented in articles are listed will be the Rangers.

I wish I did.

But yeah, like Pat said, either follow him on Twitter (where they're posted immediately), or just sniff around the site.
