What's the opening day bullpen (player/role): Perez, Romero, Blanton, Solis, Kelly, Glover, Treinen (Closer
)
Who's on the bench on opening day?: Drew, Heisey, Difo, Loby, Lind

Who's the first minor leaguer called up to pitch as a starter?: Voth
Where does Bryce Harper finish in the MVP balloting?: 2nd
How many games does Ryan Zimmerman play in 2017?: 143
Who plays more games, Werth or Zimmerman?: Zim
Who's our starting catcher at year's end?: Weiters
Do we extend Harper (and if so, what's the length/value of his deal?): Not before the end of the season. They'll make a monster offer during the offseason, which Harper will decline. This is going to the open market.
Which player massively over-performs?: I don't believe in over performing. I think Zim exceeds expectations, which I think is what you're getting at.
Which player massively under-performs?: I say nobody massively under performs. I think Max may dip a bit.

Does Bryce Harper win MVP?: No
Predict a trade: They'll trade for a starting pitcher at the deadline.
Do we trade for an established closer, and if so whom?: nope
