Most Likely to be Fired: :Jimy Williams. It wouldn't be a baseball season if we didn't start rolling out the schadenfreude! Two papers chime in on the likelihood of Williams getting the ax this season. With the signings of Pettitte and Clemens, the bar has substantially been raised in Houston (a city used to division titles). Looks like Andy and Rog brought a little bit more to the 'Stros: the ol' Bronx "win or die" fan attitude.

I think the Astros should be considered the favorite, but certainly not the prohibitive favorite, to win that division. On paper, they're a notch above the Cubs -- but there are a lot of age and injury questions on that roster. Wouldn't be surprising to see them slip and cost Jimy his job. Somewhat surprising to see papers building that bandwagon before pitchers and catchers report, though.

I bet Jimmy would have pulled Pedro at the right time.
