NL Playoff Preview

Unlike past seasons, I'm not going to make playoff predictions before the season starts. I'll simply group each team into one of 4 categories:

Pennant Contenders

Atlanta
Fargo
Houston
Salt Lake City
Trenton

Playoff Contenders

Austin
Cheyenne
New Orleans

Wild Card (not sure what to make of them)

Chicago (I don't think their roster is done yet)
Washington (mid-season call-ups could greatly affect their season)

Also-rans

Kansas City
Norfolk
Philadelphia
Salem
San Juan
Vancouver

If this list is accurate, we essentially have (likely) 3 teams for the last playoff spot. Mid-season moves could play a large role and this should make for some interesting baseball, particularly at the end of the season.
