Several posts have been floating around the blogsphere with a series of questions about the upcoming season. Some have focused from team to team, and some on individual players. This is a very normal process of anticipation which all baseball fans feel right now. Not wanting to miss out on the fun, we'll do our own list of questions by division for the next six nights, which will take us to the start of the season! Yesssssss...
