al east new york yankees its not really the line-up that puts this team into contention this year. its the starting pitchers. to add to cc.sabathia, they picked vazquez, who's coming off an outstanding season. chamberlain makes up a perfect number 3, or even 2 for the future. i don't think burnett fits this team or ball park. what is pettite still doing around tampa bay rays this is a very serious team that will be dominating this sport throughout this decade. the line-up is pure insanity crawford upton longoria pena burrell bartlett zorbist they picked up one of the best batting catchers in the game kelly shoppach to back up navarro perez price will end up this teams number 1 starter. shields, garza, davis and niemann will win a lot of games with this team. this rays bullpen is even stronger this season with the addition of rafael soriano. baltimore orioles this team is seriously improved, and you could see it coming as this franchise, unlike the jays, made the proper moves and now hold a team that can be competitive. the line-up is truly elite, the only true questions that arise, are regarding the starting pitchers, who may just end up suprising us. no doubt the bullpen is in tact with the additions. i can see them finishing in 3rd place in this division boston red sox all 3 teams above have superior line-ups to the boston red-sox this season. beckett is getting worse as he grows old. i never liked lackey, even as an angel, another starter on the decline. lester, matsuzaka, bucholz and wakefield are all under par. the one and only thing that remains solid in this red-sox team, is the bullpen. you can completely forget about this team competiting for any pennant anytime soon. toronto blue jays wtf is wrong with this team. i'm willing to wager with anyone, that this blue jays team will finish in last place in this division. its a non-existant team...its a disgrace to the game. shame shame. and to be in this division other than lind, and maybe hill, there is nothing worth mentioning there is not a division in baseball that would see this team anywhere but in last place. this team is clearly, the worst team in baseball. al central chicago white sox one would have to be nuts to not consider this team in this division. its a serious team with an elite line-up, complimented by some serious starters and a very strong bullpen. minnesota twins i agree with the way the this team has been run. it should start paying off this year or the next. the twins hold some of the absolute elite players in the world. detroit tigers very interesting moves made in detroit that put them in contention in the near future.... but not quite yet. kansas city royals they hold some serious pieces, if they can hang on to them, they will reach and possibly surpass the teams in this division in a few years from now. clevland indians this team is far from contention despite the generally weak division. al west la angels i am aware that the gap that existed in this division between the angels and the rest of the teams is getting smaller.... however, they still remain the elite in this division. oakland a's this is the team that will eventually overtake the angels i'm not so sure they'll be ready to do that this season, however, they continue to make the right moves in rebuilding, so they are to be feared in a few years from now, or possibly sooner. seattle mariners ichiro suzuki and chone figgins make up the fastest 1-2 in the game. felix hernandez and cliff lee guarentee that this team will be above .500 this year. texas rangers power power power....i'm not sure that thats the way to win pennants. you need some heavy duty starters to win, although i must admit that the rangers line-up is very impressive. ..... on my way to work, so i'll still owe the national league.
