Hey guys, it's about time for our 2010 predictions to be made! At the suggestion of some fellow bloggers and Yankees fans I have decided to do a bit of a contest!

These are the 50 questions.
Please, I am begging you, please do not comment on this unless you are answering the predictions. I don't want to see ANY +1's, replies to predictions, "you are crazy"'s, that'll never happens, just make your predictions and that's it. If I do grade the predictions at the end of the year, which I plan on doing, it is already difficult enough. Any extra comments make it increasingly difficult and almost un-doable. (Not a word, oh well)
UPDATE: 3:55 PM: For all the categories, if the player gets traded it doesn't matter the stats still count (ex: Igawa is traded midseason, gets 14 appearances overall, 2 with Yankees....14 would be correct number, not 2)
