Yes, although I could go either way on Milwaukee.

 

It's hard to believe, but the Cubs are pretty crazy. That starting rotation will hold them back from winning a championship, but they're still gonna win 90+ games.

 

I really like a lot of their players. Fukudome, Lee, Theriot, Zambrano, Marmol, etc. Piniella might be my favorite manager. I've been programmed to root against them, of course, but that doesn't mean that I can't admire them from a distance.

Arizona, in my opinion, is the class of the NL. If their offense continues to thrive at the current pace it is now for a full season (a very realistic possibliity), they're by far and away the best in the NL. Their pitching? Webb/Haren is easily the best 1-2 combo in the NL. Owings/Johnson makes up a nice 3/4. Who's their 5th starter again? Doesn't really matter. They're a definite contender. I like the Cubs in their division. That's all. Their rotation is too shaky (sucks) after Zambrano. So they're a contender in their division. A pretender come playoff time (like last year). Oakland is a definite pretender. They'll finish third in that division for obvious reasons. Cardinals and Brewers are contenders simply because their division sucks. Baltimore and Florida are pretenders. Although I'd love it if both of them kept up their current pace.

Also could go either way on Milwaukee, but I'd love to see STL and Florida prove me wrong.
