American League West
This four-team division is a strange one. On the one hand, the team with some of the best fans have watched their team decline consistently since a record-breaking season. On the other, you've got a team that doesn't even know who exactly they are. Plus there are two other teams that have combined to go 0-6 in postseason series in the last ten years.
Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim I'm doing this against my better judgment. This is a tem of mostly old men. Sure, you've got the wonderful Vladimir Guerrero, but they're ancient in many other spots. They may have enough to win, however. It all depends on whether the Athletics are able to pull off another value miracle.
Oakland Athletics They were some team a few years ago. The big three pitchers, the Giambi brothers, Chavez and Tejada. Almost everyone is gone now and they have started anew. Unlike other sell-hungry teams, though, the Athletics have done it right. I am not sure if this mostly nameless group are ready yet. But I also would not be surprised to see them on top of this division.
Seattle Mariners I want Seattle to do better than this. Why? One of my favorite players in baseball is a Mariner. I-C-H-I-R-O !!! He is as throwback as throwback gets. He had an offyear in 2005, but I bet he'll rebound. This guy just plain hits. He will be the first Japanese player in Cooperstown. He's amazing. I just wish there was a complete team around him.
Texas Rangers Do you ever get the sense that some teams are just made to be bad. It's like the Rangers in hockey. New York has the Yankees in baseball, so they must have a really bad counterpart -- hence the New York Rangers. In Dallas/Arlington, there is that football team that may have seen some success. So they must have a counterpart. And they are the Texas Rangers. Maybe it's just a Ranger thing. No matter -- a Soriano-less Texas team will not make a run like they did last year. Texans will be thinking football around April 15th.
