not far. the offense relies on Lee and Ramirez. they need more backup to get more runs and win more games. don't expect a championship anytime soon.

The SF Giants will not only win the division but will win the NL Crown and be in the WS..they have the best pitching staff in the NL hands down...and the best overall starting 8 (if healthy)...and they have great defense up the middle with Durham/Vizquel/Matheny and Winn...Not only that the addition of Finley for a has been in Alfonso was a great move..because he will spell the 3 OF's too keep them fresh and/or he could start and play Alou at 1b on occasion too give Sweeney/Niekro a day off...

Anything is possible. They have a shot. Another team to look out for is the White Sox, last years World Series champions (It's like hell as a Cubs fan plus White Sox fans are super annoying without winning the World Series. I have to route for my home town, none the less). They average as a team batting .300 . That has to account for something. The Tigers are up now, but I predict the Sox getting their record back up. The funny thing is that the White Sox always lose to the worse teams (Cubs, D-Rays, Blue Jays).

Tough call to make. They have some good young arms on that staff but the hitting needs to keep up. Losing Maroth may hurt them but the biggest worry for them is Ozzie and when he gets the Sox on the tear they've been just missing so far this year.

They would be so good if their number one hitter wasn't on the D.L. and half of their starting rotation is on the D.L. When you have Kerry Wood, Mark Prior, and Wade Miller on the D.L., you are going to go through a very rough stretch, with teams in your division like the Cardinals, Brewers, Astros, and even the Reds! Hopefully it will get better.

I think they have improved their hitting and leadoff spot which has been hurting them for years now. I wish they'd either get rid of Kerry Wood or move him to the bullpen. But I think they'll have a solid bullpen this year which was killing them last year. Oh, and watch for them to manufacture runs with Pierre and Hairston batting 1 and 2. I don't think they'll rely so heavily on the homerun ball this year. Don't give up on this season even if they start slow. We want them to peak at the end of the season. Yes, I bleed blue. White Suks!!!! Go Cubs!!!!

They have a really good team this year and have a great chance at winning the World Series this year.

They won't win the division but I think they are definitely contenders for the Wild Card this year.  I wish they would.  I love Ned Yost.

I'm also an Angels fan.  I think we're getting better.  We really need colon and  erstad back.  We've had too many injuries, and our rookies weren't as good as they were supposed to be.  Morales, Napoli, and Jered Weaver are a nice surprise.  I don't know why we still pitch Jeff Weaver.  It seems like we always lose by a lot when he plays.  I think some of our youngsters in AAA might be better.

I am!!!\n\nBeing a Tiger Fan For Life, I never would have thought this was possible.\n\nHow can ANYONE NOT be impressed???\n\nThey have the BEST record in baseball right now. Are 20 games OVER .500 (not UNDER)!!!\n\nIt's like all the pieces are coming together. I believe Jim Leyland is the key. He says it's the players, but he's keeping the players focused on TODAY, not next week.\n\nThey have won 14 out of thier last 15, and are currently \n2 1/2 games in front of the white sox.\n\nWill this last all season? I hope so, but I doubt it.\n\nThe white sox are just too good a team for us to over take (as much as I would love that!).\n\nWe might win the wild card...but seriously i would be very happy if they won 82=84 games (considering they havent seen .500 in 12 years).\n\nWe;ll see...the next 10 games will show us just how good they really are (2 more with Cleveland, 4 with the evil yankees, and 3 with the equally evil red sox).

No, essentially because of their weak starting pitching staff. Brandon Webb is superb, but currently their other 4 have been extremely inconsistent. Their offense is solid and they now have a decent bullpen. However, IMHO, they will need, at least, one more reliable starter. I'm a big fan, but believe they'll finish 2nd in the weakest division in MLB.

I'm a die hard Cincinnati Reds fan and think they can win the central but the only way they will be able to do it is to get their bullpen in order. Right down their starting pitching and offense is as good as anybody's. Their defense is getting better as the year goes on so the bottom line is to get some bullpen help.  A proven closer I beleive will help this team a great deal.

I will guarantee that this season will be better that last season. Last season wasn't really that bad, but they were  missing a few key parts that they really needed. There are no initially visible major problems, except maybe shortstop, which might be filled soon with Alex Gonzalez. Manny and Ortiz is such powerful combo. When they lose either one, the team will need a few years to recover their powerful offense. Pitching looks better is Foulke gets back to his prime condition and if Schills can go strong the entire season. Not a bad outlook, considering Coco Crisp fills a huge HOLE the Red Sox had.

Well, their infield has definately improved but starting pitching is a little shakey, it was real stupid of them to trade Arroyo. The bottom part of the order is a bit weak too. I don't think the self proclaimed idiots of 2004 can ever be topped.  By the way I am a die hard Yankees fan and boy are we happy to have Damon ;op

No, I don't think they are actually a bad hitting team they have some quality players. (Gomes, Huff, Lugo, Crawford). They do need help with the pitching though. They only have one good pitcher (Kazmir). I think it has to do with the league they are in in having to play the Blue Jays, Red Soxs and Yankees so often.
