2012 MLB Predictions
The 2012 season has plenty of story lines. Who are the Miami Marlins and is that stadium really there's? Prince and Albert once NL Central greats now playing in the NL. Extra wildcard spots up for grabs this year, who grabs them? Houston's last year in the NL. Joey Votto is going to be a Red until 2023. The Cubs got a new GM, Theo Epstein. Manny Rameriz is back in the MLB with Oakland. Will Jayson Heyward bounce back for the braves. Same goes for Carl Crawford. What will life be for the Red Sox without Theo and Francona. The Yankees well they're still the Yankees. Could the young Indians team make a run at a wildcard spot? Are the Royals really back to competing? The Twins had a down year with a lot of injuries last year will they find new life? Adam Dunn only had 11 HR last year, how many does he get this year? Armas Rameriz is now in Milwaukee can he fill the void of Prince being gone. A lot of things to look forward to this year, but the million dollar question who's going to win the World Series?
Miami Marlins New Ball ParkThe new ballparks capacity is 37,000. It will have a retractable roof and climate control. This will keep fans from having rain delays and sitting in the Miami sun. They will now have a baseball only facility, the old stadium was used for the Dolphins and Florida St. football. The seats will be among the closet to the field in baseball. 21,000 seats will be in the lower bowl. The new ballpark will be located less then 2 miles away from downtown Miami. It will cost 511 million dollars to build the park. One unique feature is an aquarium behind home plate. Hopefully the new stadium will bring in more fans to Marlins games.

Signs are pointing towards San Jose. Recently the NFL franchise San Francisco 49ers moved into nearby Santa Clara. The problem with that is the Giants own the rights to San Jose. So again the questions is when and where will the A's play in the future?
