Athletics, Angels, Mariners, or Rangers

the angels should win it, but they must find a way to get their youngsters (kotchman, ervin santana) producing and their veterans (erstad, anderson) healthy.  it's a good mix and scioscia always has then playing well come september, but the athletics could give them a run for their money.  the rangers and mariners have some good players, but i'd expect the angels and a's to battle it out, with the angels finishing on top by 3 or 4 games.\n\nwe'll see, won't we?

Oswalt and Pettite will decide your team's fate. Lance Berkman must stay healthy. Can Biggio stay in top of his game?  Bagwell should say goodbye and thanks for the memories.  Arnsberg, Taveras, and Lane will need to exceed\nlast year production.  St Louis, and Chicago reloaded  in NL Central.  Preston Wilson is a short term answer to your team's needs.

The Minnesota Twins are on a huge roll...\n\nThe Blue Jays might also make a run for it.\n\nThe Brewers seem to be in the mix.\n\nEveryone in the NL West is under the radar.\n\nWe shall see in October.

pitchers:  matt cain of the giants if he wins a starting job.  doug davis of the brewers is having an excellent spring. scott baker of the twins is compared favorably to brad radke.  and of course everyone knows about felix hernandez (mariners) and francisco liriano (twins)... but have you heard of jon papelbon (red sox)?  for some surprise relief help, look to neal cotts (white sox), JJ putz (mariners), or jesse crain (twins).\n\nbatters:  catchers: kenji johjima (mariners) or javier valentin (reds).  1st base: casey kotchman (angels) or conor jackson (diamondbacks).  2nd base: dan uggla (marlins) or ian kinsler (rangers). shortstop:  not a real sleeper, but JJ hardy (brewers).  3rd base: ryan zimmerman (nationals) or edwin encarnacion (reds).   outfield:  jeremy hermida (marlins), jason kubel (twins), and delmon young (devil rays).\n\nhave fun and good luck!

I'd have to say out of the four teams you put up there, probably the Angels have the best shot. But that would be mostly a guess as I'm not an Angels fan (or an AL fan for that matter). But they seem to have the most returning talent and have made a few solid moves in the offseason.\n\nOn paper overall, however, I'd have to say the New York Mets look pretty good this year. They have a pretty solid 1-7 and have strong starting pitching and pretty decent defense up the middle. With the addition of Carlos Delgado at first and Xavier Nady in right, they pose some problems for opposing pitchers. Their relievers are strong and deep and their bench is solid. They have speed at the top of the lineup and a good mix of young players and vets both at the every day and pitching (although their starters are a little older -- which isn't the worst thing).\n\nThe Yankees, on the flip side, seem a bit older than most years for them, and I don't think are as deep as in previous years, so I'd have to put them near the bottom of your list. \n\nThe Dodgers don't seem to have made as many moves as they could have, but they've started the rebuilding process.\n\nThe A's, with Beane Ball, seem to be a little young, although it looks like they're beginning to mix in a little more established talent as none of Beane's formulas have equated to a championship yet.\n\nHope this helps!

First order of business is the bullpen.  They have blown so many situations for the starters.  Until you get bullpen help whether it be via trade or farm system there isn't much hope.  I think the it is the achilles heel of the team.  You have two solid startes in Smoltz and Hudson, while Ramirez has been flashing signs of goodness.  Starters are not their weakness and neither is the lineup, it is the pen!!!

so how 'bout cc tonight?  (i have him too.)\n\nbenitez is out, dude... fernando rodney (det) might get some save while todd jones is hurt... love cantu, if you win he'll be a bigger part of your success than beltre or konerko will... think you might need a bit more outfield speed if stolen bases is a category, someone like aaron rowand or luis matos available? womack and hunter may be enough to carry you... i'm high on ervin santana too, in 2007...beckett will be huge... drop matheny get johjima (sea) or willingham (fla) as a backup catcher... looks like a winner overall!

Hey BroadwayPhil, tough loss today for the M's losing in x-tra's to the Rockies, so 14-4 is great against the NL.  But the NL West is horrible, but then again the AL West has had it's problems too.  The AL has really been ripping the NL to shreads.  My BoSox just finished 16-2 against the Senior Circuit.  Seattle would be a top 5 team in the NL, but not in the AL.  The Mariners have been playing a lot better as of late, but I guess we will find out soon when the Mariners get back to playing the AL Teams.  The team that they have to worry about most is the A's, Rich Harden is due back soon from injury.  But Joe Blanton and Danny Haren has been very ordinary and very inconsistent.  Zito has been their best pitcher so far.  The Mariners have to hope that they continue to get good performances from Ichiro which is a given, but Lopez and Johjima have been pleasent surprises for them.  Ibanez just very quietly go about his business, he's so underrated, a good steady outfielder.  Gil Meche has been pitching much better this year which is a plus.  Moyer has done very well, isn't he about 50 now?  God bless him, he's still doing it at his age.  They really need Washburn and Pinero to get better consistency.  King Felix can just flat out dominate when he's on.  So are they in it for the long haul?  Could be, but just as you said the AL is murderers row this year with Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota, and New York.  You really don't catch a break with teams like that.  Mariners just have to care of business against the under .500 teams and see how it will play out.  They have a chance to win the AL West!!!\n\nPS. - I have Ibanez, Lopez, and Ichiro on my fantasy baseball team, so they are OK by me   :)
