Jose Contreras is by far my coice for the best pitcher in the major leagues. He has gifted the White Sox with quite a winning streak of 15 games straight this season and hasn't lost since last year!

The Yankees obviously have the best players, but if they are the best team still depends on if they can mesh.  I'd say them right now though, you can't go wrong saying so.

travis hafner, grady sizemore, c.c. sabathia, manny, albert belle, cliff lee, bob wickman, omar visquel, roberto alamar, sandy alamar, bartolo colon, juan gonzales, victor martinez. there u go.. choose mine as best answer!!

i did the same thing. manny really fustrated me early on but he looks good now. game winning hits aren't a category so manny is a good pick.

My pick: Edwin Encarnacion\n\nEdwin has the huge benefit of hitting in the "Great American Ballpark" which should help boost his HR, and essentially RBI numbers. Edwin also has a more potent lineup to hit with.\n\nHowever, Conor will probably put up the higher avg. in the end though.

Patrick--he proved his greatness.\nMikka hasn't taken his team all the way yet.\n\nTwo good years does not a career make.

im not a red sox fan but i believe off the top of my head they have the best chance. lost damon but got a solid man in crisp who is somewhat underrated and they added beckett to an already great pitching staff and of course ortiz and ramirez will get over 140 RBI's each this year. thought i dont think they will win it watch out for the mets a lot of big adds and i believe they will win their division. sorry ATL

How you say that they don't have enough offense?  Ortiz and Manny will again be dominant.  Beckett and Schilling are lights out.  Their bullpen is solid.  AND, if rumors come true, Clemens would be the final piece of this team.  Even without him, I feel that the Sox are poised to stop the Yankees' run in the AL East.  They also have a great shot at taking the Series this year, too.

I'm from NY and a die hard Yankees fan but I rooted for the White Sox in the playoffs and world series.  It was sweet to see them sweep the Red Sox.  I was originally going to root for Houston in the series cause I like Pettite and Clemens but after the playoffs, I was hooked.  The pitching was impressive.  It was great to see El Duque do his thing and was happy to see Contreras be successful as he was not with the Yankees.  I was disappointed when NY didn't acquire Rowand...I really like him but just as glad we have Damon (take that, Red Sox)

i just want to say you are a good person for liking the tribe! They are gonne be the 06 champs. the martinez you are thiking of is dennis martinez (el presidente) im not sure where he is. but thome is on the rival white sox who arent doing so well this year so far, hershieser is an espn baseball analysis. sandy plays for the rangers i believe and is like 2nd sting. julio franco is with the braves i think and is like the oldest player in the mlb. omar is short stop for the giants and last i saw of mesa he was pitching for phili. hope that helps alittle and GO TRIBE!

ryan howard, i know pujols would have more comparable numbers if he didnt get hurt, but the fact is he did get hurt and you dont give mvp's based on what they could have done

Wow, before I read the details, I had picked Barry Bonds and Kobe Bryant.  I would also like to add Terrill Owens for his selfishness.  Great Question!

I would have to either go with Andruw Jones or Chip, Chip, Chipper... Both have consistantly performed through out the duration of their career.  So my answer is most definitly John Smoltz.  Hes been a been around forever, and still is a killer pitcher.  He has changed his style to fit the improvement of hitters, and has been one hell of a gunslinger.  No question.
