for those who don't feel like wasting their time, the angels are the second best team in baseball, the dodgers are the fourth best, and they're gonna meet in the w.s.

Seriously.

Every year I predict something like 84-78, 2-3 games out of the playoffs. This year I say 92-70. Playoffs, baby, playoffs!

These rankings are total bogus. No respect given to Toronto, Minnesota, Philadelphia, or Florida. Dodgers at 4? Every year the tires turn, and they don't go anywhere.

I like the infield and Carpenter....lots of questions everywhere else

After years of being the cool team to pick, I think people are sick of the underachievement.

The team that claims they are the team to beat? Please.

I have no idea how the Angels are ranked number 2.

this is what confused me the most. these guys are going to struggle to score 750 runs. i understand their pitching is good, but they had a 4.00 team era last year and still weren't one of the 5 best teams in baseball [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I like Lackey, but i dont think Santana is all that good and Weaver i dont think will take a big step forward yet. Krod is the best closer and Shields while not as good as he used to be is still among the best set up men. I like Kendrick alot, but Vlad doesnt have any real protection in that line up. This ranking just makes no sense at all.
