| 5th April, 2009 - 6:42 pm | Christopher Reina/RealGM - The 2009 MLB season is finally upon us and I count 16 teams with a very legitimate shot at making the postseason. In descending order of likelihood: Cubs, Angels, Yankees, Dodgers, Indians, Red Sox, Mets, Marlins, Rays, White Sox, Phillies, Diamondbacks, Twins, Cardinals, Brewers and Braves.
Below is our full season preview of all 30 teams (divided by division), which includes five key questions, realistic expectations and projects, their recent Opsera History and a representative movie trailer.
