Supposedly on Baseball Tonight this afternoon, Peter Gammons predicted Prince would hit 63 HR's, and Eric young guessed Ryan Braun would win the batting average crown.
I'd say both are far from likely, but each probably have a 10% likelihood.
If you wanted me to make a "bold prediction", it would something to do with Joe Mauer challenging .400...maybe not this year, but soon. I think he's the best hitter in the game, albeit with less pop than Braun and Prince.

Whatever strikes me as
interesting, and serious Milwaukee Brewers thoughts. If you are a believer
in respecting OBP, throwing strikes, and keeping the ball in the park,
you may have found the place you've been searching for. I don't
believe in paying a no hit/good field SS $7 million per year (Jack Wilson, I'm talking about you). I don't think
it's a good idea to "play for a run" early in the game. Build up your
minor league system, and watch success follow.
