jimmy does the hazelnuts

Well, Jimmy Rollins did not quite read hazelnuts, as Elif Shafak has a clairvoyant character doing in her excellent novel The Bastard of Istanbul, but over the weekend Rollins made his annual prediction for the season. What he sees is 100 wins, and most likely more, if all stay healthy and the pitching, hitting, and defense all do what they should do. Oh, and fortunetellers in Turkey really do read hazelnuts.
