Off-Day Open Thread 9/14: It's never too early to look ahead

2015 is kind of lame right now. That gives us all the more reason to keep our heads in the clouds that represent the future, instead of focusing on the muck and mire that's currently the present. So let's talk about the future!

The battle in the AL West is certainly interesting, as the Cinderella-story Astros are trying their hardest to hold off the hard-charging Rangers. The Blue Jays are trying their best to make sure that the Yankees don't spoil the party of seeing a new team win the AL East, and don't look now but the Pirates are only two-and-a-half games behind the Cardinals for the NL Central lead.
