Hello from the islands. My family made it out here to Hawai’i in June, and almost all the dust has settled on our move. It’s not as hot as Florida is, though it can sometimes get as humid, but mercifully there is almost always wind. What people from outside the Sunshine State never appreciate about how hot it can feel is the stagnant air. But you already knew about that.
Anyway, one of the best resources out there for historical preseason expectations is the preseason page at Chris Stassen’s website. It goes back to 1993 and collects the preseason rankings from major preview magazines/publications.
