Revised 2014 MLB picks at end of ST

Honestly, I finished this a couple of days ago, and there have been more injuries since then. I'm not going back and doing this again, so I'm just going to leave it how it is. I could do my usual thing and explain my picks, but that is clearly going to take a long time, and since nobody seems to care, I'm not going to waste my time and will continue to use my facebook account as a more immediate sports blog where I comment on most everything. I will still post stuff here, but as you may have noticed, its going to be scarcely unless this starts getting a little more recognition.

Revised 2014 MLB ST picks after most injuries:

as well.

Original 2014 MLB ST picks (prior to injuries)

I had already made my predictions for the 2014 MLB season, but b/c of a multitude of injuries and roster moves, I will now have to change them and come out with revised standings before Opening Day next Sunday. I will be taking into account other injuries and roster moves between now and then, so that means I will have to wait until most of those decisions are made.

2. Boston Red Sox (90-72)      2.Kansas City Royals (88-74)  2.Texas Rangers (89-73)
3. New York Yankees (88-74) 3.Cleveland Indians (83-79)     3.Los Angeles Angels (87-75)
