This may be the easiest division to predict, but everyone thought so last year and got burned(damn you crappy Mariners!). Let's see if this year plays out any differently:
1. ANAHEIM Angels- When Jered Weaver is your #4 starter, you know you're doing well. The Teixiera-less Angels will struggle on offense again, and they will definitely miss K-Rod to anchor the bullpen. But lackey & crew will lead the way. And Bobby Abreu is a nice addition.
2. Oakland A's- Giambi, Holliday and No-Mah were added this offseason. Young pitchers like Duscherer and Eveland are a year closer to being stars, and Brad Ziegler is a closer in waiting.
3. Seattle Mariners- Junior is back! I don't know how many wins that will equate to for this under-achieving team, but it should at least boost morale. Erik Bedard should bounce back, if just a little. The lineup is solid, which will be need to score extra runs and avoid a mostly awful bullpen.
4. Texas Rangers- Ian Kinsler, Josh Hamilton, and Michael Young anchor a powerful lineup. And Kevin Millwood and Vincente Padilla are decent starters, but should be leading a staff. No depth, very little pitching = no chance.
