COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS
The Grinder’s are led by an All Star cast of outfielders and should live up to their name with a bunch of gritty ball players. Warning Track Power is banking on MLB juicing the ball even more so it flies all the way out of the park. They will lean on their mashers. On the bump the Grinder’s roll out a strong collection of power arms. WTP is led by Thor acquired from the Grinder’s in the offseason and are hoping their strong bullpen will help once Greinke's arm finally falls off.
Cousin Vinny says: Stump Grinder’s (-3) Prediction: Grinder’s 8 WTP 4
Vinny gives the pitching edge to the Expos with a solid core of starters but will soon be looking for bullpen help.
Cousin Vinny says: Expos (-2) Prediction: Expos 6 UH 4 T 2
Neither team spent a lot of draft capital on pitching going instead with guys who carry the sticks. Vinny says the bump is a wash in this one.
Cousin Vinny says: Josh’s Team (-4) Prediction: Josh’s Team 9 The Griz 3
Cardz is attacking pitching with numbers coming in waves with mid-level pitchers. Slight edge in the pen goes to Hits for Ks
Cousin Vinny says: CardzFan (-3) Prediction: CardzFan 8 Hits For Ks 3 T 1
The pitching edge goes to PhilliesPhanInKC with their 1-2 punch of Kershaw and Sale to go along with a strong bullpen. Get ready for the fireworks!!!
Stump Grinder’s @ Warning Track Power

Expos @ UnderHochevars
Will this be the year Trevor Story finally breaks out because if he does he will pair nicely with Bregman on that side of the infield. Hosmer and LeMahieu on the other side will balance out all of the K’s those two may rack up. UH trots out a collection of proven consistent bats hoping guys like Santana, Bruce, and Carpenter still have something left in the tank.Vinny gives the pitching edge to the Expos with a solid core of starters but will soon be looking for bullpen help.
Cousin Vinny says: Expos (-2) Prediction: Expos 6 UH 4 T 2
The Grizzlies @ Josh’s Team
Josh’s Team should have little trouble getting off to a hot start against The Grizzlies all 2010 team. Vinny hopes The Griz have a good training staff. It is also rumored they have offered to clean their room in order to get a few more DL spots added to the settings.Neither team spent a lot of draft capital on pitching going instead with guys who carry the sticks. Vinny says the bump is a wash in this one.
Cousin Vinny says: Josh’s Team (-4) Prediction: Josh’s Team 9 The Griz 3
Hits for Ks @ CardzFan
Cardz roll out a strong line up of mashers led by Mr. Trout against Hits collection of blue collar guys. Hits should put up consistent offensive numbers. They are the epitome of low ceiling but high floor players.Cardz is attacking pitching with numbers coming in waves with mid-level pitchers. Slight edge in the pen goes to Hits for Ks
Cousin Vinny says: CardzFan (-3) Prediction: CardzFan 8 Hits For Ks 3 T 1
Tower of Power @ PhilliesPhanInKC
This promises to be an early season heavyweight matchup. Both squads look pretty strong after making solid offseason moves pre-draft. Vinny says the bats look pretty even but gives the slight edge to Tower because he is drinking the Correa MVP kool-aid.The pitching edge goes to PhilliesPhanInKC with their 1-2 punch of Kershaw and Sale to go along with a strong bullpen. Get ready for the fireworks!!!
Cousin Vinny says: Tower of Power (-1) Prediction: PhilliesPhanInKC 6 Tower of Power 5
UPSET SPECIAL!!!
Pitching edge went to Patty V with Allen and Jansen leading the way until I reminded Vinny that MadBum is on the shelf. He took another swig of coffee and changed his mind deciding that Matt’s starters will out pace Patty’s strong pen.
Cousin Vinny says: Matt’s Team (-3) Prediction: Matt’s Team 7 Patty V 3 T 2
Value Play: TAKE THE POINTS
UPSET SPECIAL!!!
Matt’s Team @ Patty V
Had to wake Cousin Vinny up to get his thoughts on this one especially after talking me through the last one. He did give the edge offensively to Matt’s Team with Blackmon and RIzzo. Both teams will look to run and the Steals Cat will be a dogfightPitching edge went to Patty V with Allen and Jansen leading the way until I reminded Vinny that MadBum is on the shelf.
