Out West
The Sox are reverting back to form tonight, and I'm listening to the new Less than Jake EP, so it's the perfect time to post about the next division.
AL West
Anaheim Angels: I still refuse to stoop to the level of their ridiculous name. They may have lost one Molinda, but they still have one left, and they still have the best bullpen in the majors.
Oakland A's: This is a tough one to call, but I give the A's the slight edge over the Mariners. I just trust the A's to make a quality midseason move a little more than Seattle. They have a solid young infield, a solid outfield, and they still seem to have the nucleus of a good young pitching staff.
Seattle Mariners: The M's also have a bunch of young players, but they're mostly young guys I've never heard of. It's also never a good sign when your best starting pitcher is 43 years old and not named Roger Clemens.
Texas Rangers: Maybe it's just last year talking, but I still don't think the Rangers have the pitching to compete. And they've only gotten worse on offense, losing Soriano in favor of D'Angelo Jimenez.
