Seasons are simulated a million times using a Monte Carlo method, the percentile performance of player projections and estimates of roster construction. There are other bits of mathematical nerdery involved (linear algebra for the win!), but I’m sure you want to get down to the results, so here we go.

And the NL.

Crimeny. With odds like that, just THINK of what he'll pull in in free agency!

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to slit my wrists and welcome death.

Also, quick question about your byline:

when referring to this website, is it "Baseball Think Factory", or "The Baseball Think Factory"?

I don't use The but others do. I don't think we every came to any consensus on that - personally, as long as people visit www.bbtf.org and like the site, I don't care if they think it's Big Biff's Tanning Flophouse.

Pancake Flophouse, to be precise.

I just put baseballprimer.com in the URL line. Force of habit.

Speaking of, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but ESPN has to be one of the smoothest flowing acronyms out there. Try it.

eee-esss-pee-enn.

ZiPS sees Pujols just shy of Crown

Again! When is that slacker going to come into spring training in the best shape of his life and actually pull this off. Been waiting 10 years...nuthin'.

"Baseball Think Factory", or "The Baseball Think Factory"?

No the. It's like Facebook or Twitter...it does not need the the. Primer stands alone...er Think Factory
