Here's StatsLab's take on predictions.

Sweet frank.. assume this is a "new addition" to a future build... will be impressive in a finances league for sure!

Down side is my team still sucks. Up side is my trade for starting pitching is off to a great start. Walt Connor is 1-1 with a 2.77 ERA and Lonnie Simmons is 1-0 with a 1.23 ERA. I knew my team would be bad but its nice validation for that deal, especially since so far Irvin's debut for me came with a 18 ERA.

8 games and no hitting for Idaho. The team is hitting .202 thus far. The only good hitting news thus far is we are striking out less than everyone else in the FL...2nd season, gonna be a long one.

OMG 6-2 start for Ontario and one of my 2014 4th round draft picks that made the team is 2-0 so this is a very good start for Ontario

Ben Crossin, who played 157, 154, 154, 160, & 160 games for NY over the last five years, is out for month after 7 games with Maryland. Can't make this stuff up! :)

4-4 - should we be happy or angry? Too early to tell on where this team is headed this year.

Last year we were 1-7 in the first 8 games.  Didn't think we could do worse this year!

I'm pleased with 2B Cy Wilcox's start.  The rookie didn't even get called up to Spring Training till the 2nd half of March, but made the team after walking a ton and has a .471 OBP so far on the year for us.  The pitching is worse than predictably terrible.
